Soldier of Fortune

I have often told you stories about the way

I lived the life of a drifter

Waiting for the day

When I'd take your hand and sing you songs

Then maybe you would say

"Come lay with me and love me"

And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older

And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound of a windmill going around

I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveler, I looked for something new

In days of old, when nights were cold

I wandered without you

But those days I thought my eyes had seen you standing near

Though blindness is confusing

It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older

And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound of a windmill going around

I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune

Yes, I can hear the sound of a windmill going around

I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune

I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
