Beside a Singin' 
Mountain Stream
Where the 
Willow grew
Where the 
Silver Leaf of 
MapleSparkled in the 
Mornin' Dew
I braided 
Twigs of Willows
Made 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 needI leaned against a 
Bark of Birch
And I breathed the 
Honey DewI saw a 
North-bound 
Flock of Geese
Against a 
Sky of Baby 
BlueBeside the 
Lily PadsI carved a 
Whistle from a 
ReedMother 
Nature's quite a 
LadyBut you're the one 
I needFlesh 
And Blood need 
Flesh And 
BloodAnd you're the one 
I needA Cardinal sang just for me
And I thanked him for the 
SongThen the 
Sun went slowly down the 
WestAnd 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 
BloodAnd you're the one 
I needFlesh 
And Blood need 
Flesh And 
BloodAnd you're the one 
I needSo when this 
Day was ended
I was still not satisfied
For I knew ev'rything 
I touchedWould wither and would die
And Love is all that will remain
And grow from all these 
SeedMother 
Nature's quite a 
LadyBut you're the one 
I needFlesh 
And Blood need 
Flesh And 
BloodAnd you're the one
