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
 And 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
 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 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
 I can hear the sound of a windmill going 'round
 I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
 Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
