I've 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
Now I feel I'm growing older
And all 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
Соло [1:20-1:48]: Микаэль Окерфельдт
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 thought my eyes could see you standing near
Though blindness is confusing, it shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older
And all 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
I can hear the sound of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I will always be a soldier of fortune
I guess I will always be a soldier of fortune, oh
