"No Reason to Cry" is the fourth solo studio album by Eric Clapton, released by RSO Records in 1976.The album was recorded at The Band's Shangri-la Studios in March 1976, and included involvement from all five members of The Band; Rick Danko shared vocals with Clapton on "All Our Past Times," which he co-wrote with Clapton. The album also includes a duet with Bob Dylan on his otherwise unreleased song "Sign Language." The booklet in Bob Dylan's box set The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991 describes his involvement in this album: "Dylan dropped by and was just hanging out, living in a tent at the bottom of the garden. He would sneak into the studio to see what was going on. Dylan offered his new, unrecorded song "Seven Days" to Clapton. Clapton passed on it, but Ron Wood took him up on the offer and released it on his third solo album Gimme Some Neck". The song "Innocent Times" is sung by Marcy Levy, who also shared vocals with Clapton on "Hungry."

[Chorus 1]
You speak to me in sign language
As I am eating a sandwich in a small cafe
At a quarter to three

[Verse 1]
But I cannot respond to your sign language
You are taking advantage, bringing me down
Can't you make any sound?

[Chorus 2]
It was there by the bakery, surrounded by fakery
This is my story, still I am still there
Does she know I still care?

[Verse 2]
Link Wray was playing on a jukebox, I was paying
For the words I was saying, so misunderstood
He did not do me no good
