Oh, where are you now?
Pussy willow that smiled on my sleeve
When I was alone, you promised a stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand

Please
Please lift a hand, I'm only a person
Whose armbands beat on his hands hang tall
Won't you miss me? Wouldn't you miss me at all?

My head touched the ground
I was half the way down, strumming the sand
Please lift a hand, I'm only a person
With eskimo chain, you tattered my brain all the way

Won't you miss me? Whouldn't you miss me at all?

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
