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