Soldier of Fortune Songtext
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
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
I′ll 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 going round
I'll guess I′ll always be a soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I guess I′ll always be
A soldier of fortune
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
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
I′ll 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 going round
I'll guess I′ll always be a soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I guess I′ll always be
A soldier of fortune
