Soldier of Fortune

[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
Maybe you would say
"Come lay with me, love me"
And I would surely stay

[Chorus]
But I feel I'm growing older
All 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 traveler, I've 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

[Chorus]
Now I feel I'm growing older
All 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
I can hear the sound of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I guess I will always be a soldier of fortune
