Intro

Verse 1

 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 I would surely stay

Chorus

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 will always be a soldier of fortune

Interlude

)

 Many times I've been a traveller I looked for something new

 In days of old when the nights were cold

I wandered without you

Those days I thougt my eyes could see you standing near

Though blindness is confusing it shows that you're not here
