FOLLOW VERSE 1 AND VERSE 2
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.
CHORUS 2
Now I feel I'm going older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I CAN HERE THE SOUND OF A WINDMILL GOING ROUND
