Last night I heard a shaking melody
From the top of a nearby willow tree
I never heard that willows really weep
So it must have been this little guy
that’s awake when we sleep
Chorus:
Do animals cry?
I’ve never seen one with sadness in its eyes
Do animals cry?
I’ve never seen one who’s died of love
Do animals cry?
I’ve never seen one with tears in its eyes
Do animals cry?
I seem be the first to be seen, otherwise…
Outside my window there’s a crawling vine
It leaves a bigger track than tears from my eyes
Does this prove the long forgotten theory
That animals can be sad like you and me?
Chorus
Last night again a shaking melody
From the top of a nearby willow tree
This time it was very clear on my side
Don’t you be the reason why we cry
