Beside a singing mounta in stream
Where the willow grew
Where the s ilver leaf of m aple
Sparkles i n the morning d ew
I braided twigs of w illow
Made a s tring of buckeye beads
F lesh And Blood needs F lesh And Blood
And y ou're the one I n eed
F lesh And Blood needs F lesh And Blood
And y ou're the one I n eed.
I leaned against the b ark of birch
And I breathed the honeydew
I saw a n orthbound flock of g eese
Against a s ky of baby b lue
B eside the lilly p ads
I carved a w histle from a reed
Mother N ature's quite a l ady
But y ou're the one I n eed
F lesh And Blood needs F lesh And Blood
And y ou're the one I n eed.
A c ardinal sang j ust for me
And I t hanked him for his song
Then the s un set slowly d own the West
And I h ad to move a long
T hese are some of the t hings
On which my m ind and spirit feed
F lesh And Blood needs F lesh And Blood
And y ou're the one I n eed
F lesh And Blood needs F lesh And Blood
And y ou're the one I n eed.
So w hen the day was e nded
I was s till not satisfied
For I knew everything I t ouched
Would w ither and would d ie
L ove is all that w ill remain
And g row from all these seeds
Mother N ature's quite a l ady
But y ou're the one I n eed
F lesh And Blood needs F lesh And Blood
And y ou're the one I n eed.
