Soildeir of fortune I have often told the stories about the way I live a life of a drifter, waiting for a day When I take your hand and sing a song Then maybe you would say Come lay with me and love me And I would surely stay But I feel I'm growing and older And the song that I've sung Echo in the distance like the sound Of the windmill going around Guess I'd always be a soldier of fortune Many times I've been the traveller I've looked for something new In the day of old when the nights were cold I wonder without you Those days I thought my eyes have seen You standing near Though blindness is confusing It showed that you're not here (repeat *) I can hear the sound Of the windmill going around Guess I'd always be a soldier of fortune
