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, 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 guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
[간주]
Many times I've been a traveller I looked for something new
in days of old when nights were cold I wandered without you
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 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
