[1] Beside a Singin' [4] Mountain Stream
[1] Where the Willow grew
Where the [4] Silver Leaf of [1] Maple
Sparkled [2] in the Mornin' [5] Dew
I [1] braided Twigs of [4] Willows
Made a [1] String of Buckeye Beads;
But [4] Flesh And Blood need [1] Flesh And Blood
And [4] you're the one I [1] need
[4] Flesh And Blood need [1] Flesh And Blood
And [4] you're the one I [1] 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 Nature's quite a Lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And you're 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 you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need.
[SPOKEN]
So when this Day was ended
I was still not satisfied
For I knew ev'rything I touched
Would wither and would die
And Love is all that will remain
And grow from all these Seed;
[SUNG]
Mother Nature's quite a Lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
And you're the one I need.
