Beside a singing mountain stream
Where the willow grew
Where the silver leaf of maple
Sparkles in the morning dew
I braided twigs of willow
Made a string of buckeye beads
Flesh And Blood needs Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood needs Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need.
I leaned against the bark of birch
And I breathed the honeydew
I saw a northbound flock of geese
Against a sky of baby blue
Beside the lilly pads
I carved a whistle from a reed
Mother Nature's quite a lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood needs Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need.
A cardinal sang just for me
And I thanked him for his song
Then the sun set slowly down the West
And I had to move along
These are some of the things
On which my mind and spirit feed
Flesh And Blood needs Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood needs Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need.
So, when the day was ended
I was still not satisfied
For I knew everything I touched
Would wither and would die
Love is all that will remain
And grow from all these seeds
Mother Nature's quite a lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood needs Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need
