[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 and love me
And I would surely stay
[Chorus:] But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' round
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune.
[Verse 2:] Many times I've been a traveller
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
Thou blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here.
[Chorus:] Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
[Chorus:] Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' round
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune,
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.
