Do Animals Cry? - SEA + AIR

Last night I heard a shaky 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

Do animals cry?

I’ve never seen one with sadness in his face

Do animals cry?

I’ve never seen one who was tired of life

Do animals cry?

I’ve never seen one with tears in his eyes

Do animals cry?

Seem to be the first to be seen otherwise

Outside my windows there’s a crawling moving by

It leaves a bigger track that the tears from my eyes

Does that prove the long forgotten theory

That animals can be sad like you and me

Do animals cry?

I’ve never seen one with sadness in his face

Do animals cry?

I’ve never seen one who was tired of life

Do animals cry?

I’ve never seen one with tears in his eyes

Do animals cry?

Seem to be the first to be seen otherwise

Last night again a shaky melody

From the top of a nearby willow tree

This time with words very clear on my side

Don’t you be the reason why we cry

Do animals cry?
