Flesh And Blood - Live

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 we 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

And when the day was ended
I was very 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 need flesh and blood
And you're the one I need
