Lyrics
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 you're the one I need Flesh and blood need flesh and blood And you're 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 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
