Lyrics:

(Blackmore/coverdale)

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 Goin' 'round
I Guess I'll Always Be...
A Soldier Of Fortune

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 Thougt 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
Yes, I Can Hear The Sound
Of A Windmill Goin' 'round
I Guess I'll Always Be
A Soldier Of Fortune
