I have often told you stories about the way 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 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 quess 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 wondered without you But those days I thought my eyes Had see you standing near to blinders 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 quess I'll always be A soldier of fortune Yes, I can hear the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I quess I'll always be A soldier of fortune I quess I'll always be A soldier of fortune
