[F(V)]
I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter
waiting for the day
[F(V)]
When I take your hand and sing your song
[F(V)]
then maybe you would say
come lay with me love me
and I would surely stay
Chorus:
Now I see I'm going older
And the songs that I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound of a windmill going 'round
I guess I always be a soldier of fortune
[F(V)]
Many times I've been a traveller I looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold
I wondered without you
[F(V)]
And day I thought my eyes had seen you standing near
Thou blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Chorus:
Now I see I'm going older
And the songs that I have sung
echo in the distance
Like the sound of a windmill going 'round
I guess I always be a soldier of fortune
Yes, 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.
