Satisfied Mind Lyrics

Jeff Buckley

(j.hayes/j.rhodes)
This is a traditional folk song that has been sung by many artists, as the byrds in turn! turn! turn! or joan baez in farewell angelina
How many times have you heard someone say
If I had money, Id do things my way,
But little they know that its so hard to find
One rich man with a satisfied mind.
Money cant buy back your youth when youre old
A friend, when youre lonely, or 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 ones, Ill leave them no doubt.
But, one things gone for certain, when it comes my time
Ill leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
Satisfied mind.
