So Whistle As The Wind Blows

R.E.M.: Wendell Gee

he had a dream one night
that the tree
had lost its middle
so he built
a trunk of chicken wire
to try to hold it up
but the wire turned
to lizard skin
and when he climbed inside
there wasn't even
time to say
goodbye to Wendell Gee
so whistle as the wind blows
whistle as the wind
blows the leaves
