And if the air could speak
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
Whistle as the wind blows with me
Whistle as the wind blows with me
And when he climbed inside
Whistle as the wind blows with me
So whistle as the wind blows
So whistle as the wind blows
But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin
He had a dream one night
If the wind were colors
There wasn't even time to say
He was reared to give respect
So he built a trunk of chicken wire
That the tree had lost its middle
To whistle as the wind blows
To try to hold it up
There wasn't even time to say
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
Somewhere down the line he chose
Then whistle as the wind blows
Behind the house he lived in
