Soldier Of Fortune

Soldier Of Fortune - Pentti Hietanen

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 songs

Then maybe you would say

Come lay with me you 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

I guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveler

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

I guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune

Well 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
