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 Do animals cry? (4x)
