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

Now I feel I'm growing older

And all the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I will always be

Your soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller

I looked for something new

In days of old when nights were cold

I wandered without you

Those days I thought my eyes

Could see you standing near

Though blindness is confusing

It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older

And all the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I will always be

Your soldier of fortune

I can hear the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I will always be

Your soldier of fortune

I guess I will always be

Your soldier of fortune
