Soldier of Fortune

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," And I would surely stay 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 Your 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 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 Your soldier of fortune I can hear the sound Of a windmill going 'round I guess I will always be Your soldier of fortune Guess I will always be... Your soldier of fortune
