It's a way-underappreciated gem in the IRS-era catalog.

Wendle Gee sounds like "loss" even if you don't pay attention to the words which of course seem to be about a child saying goodbye to a beloved tree (at least, I *think* lol) so once you know that takes on an even more touching vibe.

I have lots of those kinds of songs. For me the one closest to yours is the ending of Captain Fantastic: We All Fall In Love Sometimes/Curtains which reminds me of my grandad. He was a rail thin dude (like a scarecrow) and my grandma was so beautiful (the freshest flower this garden ever grew) and they were such a wonderful people. Anyways, they're both there in Curtains
