BESIDE A SINGIN'
MOUNTAIN STREAM
WHERE THE
WILLOW GREW
WHERE THE SILVER LEAF
OF MAPLE
SPARKLED IN
THE MORNIN' DEW
I BRAIDED
TWIGS OF WILLOW
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
I LEANED AGAINST
THE BARK OF BIRCH
AND I BREATHED
THE HONEYDEW
I SAW A NORTHBOUND
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
NEEDS 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
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
SO WHEN THE DAY
WAS ENDED
I WAS STILL
NOT SATISFIED
FOR I KNEW EVERYTHING
I TOUCHED
WOULD WITHER
AND WOULD DIE
AND LOVE IS ALL THAT
WILL REMAIN
AND GROW FROM
ALL THESE SEED
MOTHER NATURE'S
QUITE A LADY
BUT YOU'RE
THE ONE I NEED
FLESH AND BLOOD
NEEDS FLESH AND BLOOD
AND YOU'RE
THE ONE I NEED
