World Without Tears Lyrics

[Chorus]
If we lived in a World Without Tears
How would bruises find
The face to lie upon
How would scars find skin
To etch themselves into
How would broken find the bones

If we lived in a world without tears
How would heartbeats
Know when to stop
How would blood know
Which body to flow outside of
How would bullets find the guns

If we lived in a world without tears
How would misery know
Which back door to walk through
How would trouble know
Which mind to live inside of
How would sorrow find a home

[Chorus: x2]

How would broken find the bones
How would broken find the bones

World Without Tears

Recording the World Without Tears album was a new experience for Lucinda Williams, who is used to working in a booth rather than a sprawling 1920s mansion in Los Angeles. She recalled in an interview with Guitar World Acoustic how co-producer Mark Howard duped her into cutting everything live: "He set all of us up in one big room that had been designed for live acoustic music by the original owners, who used to throw dinner parties and would entertain their guests with light opera, so it was sonically ideal. My band and me were on one side of the room and Mark was on the other with his console. I was used to the band being together when we recorded, but I've always been isolated in a booth so I could fix or overdub my vocals. I'm such a control freak that I want to try to get every part of my performances exactly right. I said at the beginning, 'This is not gonna work. I'm probably going to have to redo all my vocals.' But Mark kind of tricked me at first and said I could go back and repair my parts. Then, after we got into it a little, he told me that touch-ups couldn't be done."
