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.
