I have often told you stories
Аbout 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 the and love me.
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

Many times I've been a traveler,
I looked for something new
Those days of old when night were cold,
I wander without you
Those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing me
But blindness is confusing,
It shows that you're not here

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

I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' round
'Guess I'll always be a
Soldier of fortune
Yes, I'll always be a
Soldier of fortune
