Lyrics

The Satisfied Mind

With a mind that's satisfied

With a mind that's satisfied

That big ice cream cone in the sky

Floats right on by

The satisfied mind never needs more

It never forgets whatever it's for

Beyond control of hot and cold

With a mind that's satisfied

Each one goes together alone

With a mind that's satisfied

In the middle of a heat wave

An ice cold drink is a major find

In the long, dead-end of winter

Frozen lovers dream of fire

With a mind that's satisfied

With a mind that's satisfied

Lucky ones learn that love is blind

They don't deny

The satisfied mind never needs more

Never regrets and never keeps score

Beyond control of hot and cold

With a mind that's satisfied

Each one goes together alone

With a mind that's satisfied

In the middle of a heat wave

An ice cold drink is a major find

Simple facts you can depend on

Bits and pieces of desire

With a mind that's satisfied

That big ice cream cone floats on by

With a mind that's satisfied

Lucky ones learn that love is blind

With a mind that's satisfied

The satisfied mind is satisfied

The satisfied mind is satisfied

The satisfied mind is satisfied
