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 thought my eyes had seen you standing near Though blindness is confusing It 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 I guess I`ll always be a soldier of fortune
