Flesh and Blood

Beside a Singin' Mountain StreamWhere the Willow grewWhere the Silver Leaf of MapleSparkled in the Mornin' DewI braided Twigs of WillowsMade a String of Buckeye Beads;But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And BloodAnd you're the one I needFlesh And Blood need Flesh And BloodAnd you're the one I need.I leaned against a Bark of BirchAnd I breathed the Honey DewI saw a North-bound Flock of GeeseAgainst a Sky of Baby BlueBeside the Lily PadsI carved a Whistle from a Reed;Mother Nature's quite a LadyBut you're the one I needFlesh And Blood need Flesh And BloodAnd you're the one I need.A Cardinal sang just for meAnd I thanked him for the SongThen the Sun went slowly down the WestAnd I had to move alongThese were some of the thingsOn which my Mind and Spirit feed;But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And BloodAnd you're the one I needFlesh And Blood need Flesh And BloodAnd you're the one I need.[SPOKEN]So when this Day was endedI was still not satisfiedFor I knew ev'rything I touchedWould wither and would dieAnd Love is all that will remainAnd grow from all these Seed;[SUNG]Mother Nature's quite a LadyBut you're the one I needFlesh And Blood need Flesh And BloodAnd you're the one I need.
