Satisfied Man - Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers

作曲：Stephen Kellogg

There's somethings you never

get over

Whatever your parents say

First on my list of these three things

Is the sight of my father

walking away

Next on my list would be heaven

I already know what it's like

Cause I fell in love when

I was sixteen

With the absolute love of my life

Last on my list would be losing

But someone always needs to win

And thumbing your nose at the

boss I suppose

Just feels like a beautiful thing

And it's something that nobody

tells you

You figure it out if you can

Well there's one thing on earth

that no one can touch

It's the sleep of a satisfied man

Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man

And I don't know why

I love believing

But it's not from lack of loving you

You can't remember when you

stopped breathing

And I can't remember it too

But I'm coming home tomorrow

And I wanted you to know

That the part of me that can

make you smile

Is the same part that needed to go

And it's something that

nobody tells you

You figure it out if you can

Well they can't interfer or

get inside of here

To the sleep of a satisfied man

Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man

Of all the things I've had to learn

One won't quit

No matter how I try

One won't quit

It's all that I can stand

One won't won't quit

I'll never learn to say goodbye

But I hope for your sake that

you can

And on April secend the

birth of my heart

The day that the zombie

awoke with a start

When I fell for Button and

she fell for me

Back in the spring of ninty nine

January seventh two thousand five

The birth of my blood came

fully to life

When I see St Peter and ask for

my wings

Just leave me that memory and

the joy that it brings

It's something that nobody

tells you

You figure it out if you can

It's the things that you never

get over

Build the character of a man

And if heaven and family

and children

Are what's left of me when I die

Then I hope for your sake that

you're better

Than me at this learning to

say goodbye

Yeah if heaven and family

and children

Are what's left of the race that

I ran

Then I'll quietly slip to the

slumbering peace of the

Sleep of a satisfied man

Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man

Oh the sleep of a satisfied man

I'm satisfied
