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      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      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
