Verse

 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 and love me

 And I would surely stay

Chorus

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

Guess I'll always be

 A soldier of fortune.

Verse

 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.

Chorus

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

Guess I'll always be

 A soldier of fortune.

Outro

Yes, 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...
