Beside a Singin Mountain Stream
Where the Willow grew
Where the Silver Leaf of Maple
Sparkled in the Mornin Dew
I braided Twigs of Willows
Made a String of Buckeye Beads
But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And youre the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And youre the one I need.
I leaned against a Bark of Birch
And I breathed the Honey Dew
I saw a North-bound Flock of Geese
Against a Sky of Baby Blue
Beside the Lily Pads
I carved a Whistle from a Reed
Mother Natures quite a Lady
But youre the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And youre the one I need.
A Cardinal sang just for me
And I thanked him for the Song
Then the Sun went slowly down the West
And I had to move along
These were some of the things
On which my Mind and Spirit feed
But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And youre the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And youre the one I need.
So when this Day was ended
I was still not satisfied
For I knew evrything I touched
Would wither and would die
And Love is all that will remain
And grow from all these Seed
Mother Natures quite a Lady
But youre the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And youre the one I need.
