Lyrics Weep Weep. - John Edmond

I'm a long legged bird that's called many names
Got cousins all over the globe
Now they call me a spotted thick knee
'Cos my leg joints have got two lobes
Sometimes they call me a Dikkop
And even a Stone curlew
Down Under in Australia
They call me a Willaroo
Weep weep weep weep
I'm calling' throughout the night
I dunno why the sound of my cry
Makes people live in fright
Weep weep weep weep
Doesn't mean that you must cry
Because you can hear me but you can't see me
No need to be terrified
Though I love the wide open spaces
And places that are so pretty
I can be found on open ground
Even in a smoky old city
I really do not mind humans
They don't pose too many threats
But if I go near their yards at night
I'm hunted down by their pets
Weep weep weep weep
I'm calling' throughout the night
I dunno why the sound of my cry
Makes people live in fright
Weep weep weep weep
Doesn't mean that you must cry
Because you can hear me but you can't see me
No need to be terrified
And so I will just keep to myself
As private as I can be
I'll lay my eggs on mother earth
That are so very hard to see
I'll raise my chicks and sing my song
And in the pale moonlight
Though you can't see me
Your gonna hear me weep
Weeping through out the night
Weep weep weep weep
I'm calling' throughout the night
I dunno why the sound of my cry
Makes people live in fright
Weep weep weep weep
Doesn't mean that you must cry
Because you can hear me but you can't see me
No need to be terrified
