Soldier of Fortune

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Maybe you would say "Come lay with me, love me" And I would surely stay [Chorus] But I feel I'm growing older All 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 [Verse 2] Many times I've been a traveler, I've 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 [Chorus] Now I feel I'm growing older All 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 I can hear the sound of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune I guess I will always be a soldier of fortune
