Crying for the hungry friends 

And you're crying for the struggling friends 

And I'm crying over you 

Crying over a mother's debt 

And you're crying over some other's head 

While I'm crying over you 

You're working so hard to guard against the weather 

You'd shelter the world if you could 

But remember we swore that we'd stop each other never 

From doing what we've go to - well, it's still understood 

And so you're crying for the haunted things 

And you're crying for the unwanted things 

While I'm crying over you 

Crying 'cause somebody cries 

And you're crying 'cause everybody dies 

And I'm crying over you 

I see you working so hard to be a part of something better 

It's not some big thing it's just what you do 

But remember the yard when we gardened together? 

I can't think of anything better than you 

Now I know it's late, and I know you're trying 

But your time I wouldn't take, and I'd never stop you crying 

You're crying for the living things 

And you're crying for the forgiven things 

And I'm crying over you 

Now, you know my ways, and you know that I'm 

Also set ablaze by that same fire that makes you cry 

And so I'm crying for the war and the dread 

And I'm crying 'cause there's more ahead 

And I'm crying over you 

I'll go on crying for our animal friends 

And I'll be crying 'til their suffering ends 

While I'm crying over you
