[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack
Your mama told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror, tell me, do you think your life's in danger? Yeah
[Chorus]
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
[Verse 2]
Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say it's time to begin
I see the man around the corner waiting, can he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here
[Chorus]
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
[Orchestral Interlude]
[Bridge]
It's just a sign of the times
Going forward in reverse
Still, he who laughs last
Is just a hand in the bush
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
So now that it's over can't we just say goodbye? (Bye, bye, goodbye)
I'd like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold, I don't know what else to say
I never wanted it to end this way, my love, my darling
Believe me when I say to you in love I think I'm falling here
[Chorus]
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
[Outro]
Is just a hand in the bush
(In the bush, in the bush, in the bush)
No More Tears was written by Ozzy Osbourne & Zakk Wylde & Mike Inez & Randy Castillo & John Purdell.
No More Tears was produced by John Purdell & Duane Baron.
Ozzy Osbourne released No More Tears on Sat Jun 15 1991.
I always thought that this song was a gift from God. Mike Inez came up with the bass riff and it just took off from there. “No More Tears” has been a staple of my live shows since 1991 and it will be until I retire from touring.
