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.
