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 round
guess i'll always be a 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
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 going 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
yes, i can hear the sound of a windmill going round
i guess i'll always be a soldier of fortune.
i guess i'll always be a soldier of fortune.
