Welcome to the fourth in the series of Challenges.
Between October 1962 and May 1970, The Beatles released 24 singles, 13 EPs, 13 Albums, with a total of 293 tracks.
NATURE IN LYRICS CHALLENGE
Below is an alphabetical list of nature-related words which appear in officially released Beatles songs.
The Challenge is to find which word appears in which song, or songs.
Hints/clues:
Some words appear in more than one song. In these cases, the number of songs in which the word appears is shown in [x].
Some songs contain more than one of the words on the list. In these cases, you need to find each word and post each answer in a separate post.
No "live" recording; BBC sessions; Polydor records; bootlegs; unreleased tracks.
Rules:
Please, no googling, wiki, social media, iplayer, youtube, personal record collection [e.g. album sleeves] in search of the answers.
You may submit one answer for one word in one song per post - not two or more songs where the same word appears - and can only post one answer per day.
Entries for Saturday 13 April, and each subsequent night, can be posted between 11pm and midnight. Results, with the number of answers for each word still to be found, will then be posted.
The list of nature-related words appears in a separate post below:
Good luck.

As answers have been submitted from five regular members, the results are given a little earlier.
RESULTS for answers submitted for Thursday 25 April 2019:
DOG = Hey Bulldog - @Cleoriff correct
STREAM = Tomorrow Never Knows - @Glory1 correct
SAND = Honey Don`t - @Bambino correct; and as said, it was one I missed from my list
SEA = Revolution 9 - @jonsie correct. I am going to allow it because, unlike previous Challenges, I did not say in the rules that Revolution 9 is not included. But this is a "one off", as it is impossible to work out the lyrics of that songs.
None of the answers to find come from Revolution 9.
SOUR MILK SEA - sorry @MI5 incorrect. The song was recorded by The Beatles at George`s house during the making of The Beatles [White] album but was never released. George gave the song to Jackie Lomax and was released on The Beatles Apple label. The song by The Beatles was remastered and included on the remastered White album released last year - so outside the time frame for this Challenge.
The list of songs found so far [inc SAND in Homey Don`t; and SEA in Revolution 9[ are in next post.
The list of songs still to find is in a separate post below.
You can submit your next answer after midnight and have until 11pm tomorrow.
Good luck - not many to find now.

I didn't expect it to be correct and I was going to use stream in tomorrow never knows but I discounted that as the lyric is downstream which is one word.
Anyway, I can't think of any others so I'm out now.
Sorry, @MI5 every book I have on The Beatles, which includes the lyrics to Tomorrow Never Knows shows the opening line as
Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
with stream as a separate word.
Sorry to hear you are dropping out but hope you will join in the next one.
Thanks for playing
