Soldier of Fortune

Lyrics

I have often told you stories about the way
 I've 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 all the songs that I have sung
 Echo in the distance like the sound
 Of the windmill going 'round
 I guess I will always be your soldier of fortune
 ♪
 Many times I've been a traveller
 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 the windmill going 'round
 I guess I will always be your soldier of fortune
 I can hear the sound
 Of the windmill going 'round
 I guess I will always be your soldier of fortune
 I guess I will always be your soldier of fortune
 
 I have often told you stories about the way
 I've 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 all the songs that I have sung
 Echo in the distance like the sound
 Of the windmill going 'round
 I guess I will always be your soldier of fortune
