In a poignant exploration of life's transient nature and the enduring quest for meaning, the lyrics reflect the inner musings of a weary traveler. The narrator recounts a life marked by solitude and perpetual movement, symbolizing an endless search for connection and fulfillment. The recurring imagery of a "windmill going round" represents the cyclical and unchanging aspects of his existence, where songs once sung now fade into echoes of the past. Despite fleeting moments of intimacy and the hope for lasting companionship, the protagonist accepts his fate as a perpetual wanderer, a "soldier of fortune." This resignation underscores the bittersweet realization that some paths are destined for solitude. #Melancholy #LifeJourney #SearchForMeaning #EternalWanderer
Soldier of Fortune
Lyrics
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 and 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 going round
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 thought 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 going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
