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

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I 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
But those days I thougt my eyes Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusingIt 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 goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round
2x I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune
