Flesh and Blood

[Verse 1]

Beside a singing mountain stream where the willow grew

Where the silver leaf of maple sparkled in the morning dew

I braided twigs of willows, made a string of buckeye beads

But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

[Verse 2]

I leaned against the bark of birch and I breathed the honey dew

Saw a north-bound flock of geese against a sky of baby blue

Beside the lily pads, he carved a whistle from a reed

But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

[Verse 3]

A mockingbird 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

And these were some of the things on which my mind and spirit feed

But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

So when this day was ended, I was still not satisfied

I knew everything I touched would wither and die

And love was all that will remain and grow from all these seed

Mother Nature's quite a lady, but I'm the one you need

Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

[Outro]

Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
