Intro   -  -  -
 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  goin' 'round
Guess  I'll always be
 A soldier of fortune.
Break   -  -  -  -  -  -  -
 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  goin' 'round
Guess  I'll always be
 A soldier of fortune.
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...
