JEFF BUCKLEY - Satisfied Mind lyrics

rate me

(j.hayes/j.rhodes)

This is a traditional folk song that has been sung by many artistsas the byrds in turn! turn! turn! or joan baez in farewell angelina

How many times have you heard someone say

If I had moneyI'd do things my way

But little they know that it's so hard to find

One rich man with a satisfied mind.

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old

A friendwhen you're lonelyor peace to your soul.

The wealthiest person is a pauper at times

Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When my life is over and my time has run out.

My friends and my loved onesI'll leave them no doubt.

Butone thing's gone for certainwhen it comes my time

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.

Satisfied mind.
