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 may be you would say
Come and lay with me and love
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I've 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 the days of old when the nights were cold
I wandered without you
Those days I thought my eyes had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It showed that you're not here

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I've 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
Guess I'll always be
A Soldier of Fortune
