I have often told you stories About the way I lived the life of a driller 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 fee! 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 Hooked 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 Tho' 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
I can hear the sound Of a windmill goin' round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune, I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune.
