Flesh and Blood

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Beside a singing mountain stream Where the willow grew Where the silver leaf of maple Sparkled in the morning dew I braided twigs of willow Made a string of buckeye beads But 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 [Verse 2] I leaned against the 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 many paths 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 [Verse 3] A cardinal sang just for me And I thanked him for the song Then the sun went slowly down in the west And I had to move along These were some of the things On which my mind and spirit feed 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 [Verse 4] So when the day was ended I was still not satisfied For I knew everything I touched Would wither and would die And 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
