Do Animals Cry?

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?
