Flesh And Blood Lyrics - Every Song Tells A Story - Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson

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 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 Blood 

And you're the one I need 

Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood 

And you're the one I need 

So when this Day was ended 

I was still not satisfied 

For I knew ev'rything 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
