Soldier of Fortune Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, love me, I would surely stay

[Chorus]
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 going round
I guess I will always be the soldier of fortune

[Verse 2]
Many times I've been a traveler, I looked for something new
In days of old when the 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

[Chorus]
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 going round
I guess I will always be the soldier of fortune

[Outro]
I can hear the sound of a windmill going round
I guess I will always be the soldier of fortune
I guess I will always be the soldier of fortune
