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 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 traveler
 I 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.
 Now I feel I'm going 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
 Yes, I can hear the sound
 Of a windmill going round
 I guess I'll always be
 A soldier of fortune.
 I guess I'll always be
 A soldier of fortune.
