Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Satisfied Mind

How many times, have you heard somebody say

If I had his money, I'd do things my way

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

One rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind

Cos money can't buy

Youth when you're old

Or a friend when you're lonely

Or a heart that's grown cold

Well once I was living, in fortune and fame

And I spent all my money, sweet money, playing at games

Suddenly it happened, I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far, with my satisfied mind

Cos money can't buy back

Youth, when you get older

Or a friend when you're lonely

Or a heart that's grown cold

Or a friend when you're lonely

Or a heart that's grown cold
