Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived a 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
[Verse 2]
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 round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
[Verse 3]
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
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
[Verse 4]
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 round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
[Verse 5]
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
[Verse 6]
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
