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

I have a lotta words when it comes to beautiful things. The very song of Soldier Of Fortune is somehow the song I grew up with. I started to play the tune in my head even when I was a kid. I'd sing the song in my not-so-good-voice along a friend playing guitar when I was in high school. I went over to the States looking for the album of DP or even went to the junkies' yards to find the unplugged albums, listened to it, cherished it.
The lines of,
"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

...is very special to me. I have my own realm I am playing in my mind at this part of the song.
