No Stranger To Love
Black Sabbath · Seventh Star [1986]
Lonely till dawn
Cry for the light
For the love that won't come
You said that you'd never
Leave me alone
I gave you my heart
You cried for my soul
An angel won't come
This devil won't go
Something is wrong
I just can't get away
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
But I'm a stranger in your arms
Yes, I'm a stranger in your arms
Maybe it's right
But I just can't understand
The hurt that I feel
For my love second hand
I know I should leave
But I just can't walk away
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
I'm a stranger in your arms
Living on the street, I'm no stranger to love
Why can't you see I'm no stranger to love
No Stranger To Love
Released on Black Sabbath's 1986 album Seventh Star, 'No Stranger To Love' stands as a defining track of the band's late-period hard rock. The song blends the group's signature heavy riffs with a more melodic, anthemic approach that reflected their evolving musical direction during the 1980s. Written by guitarist Geezer Butler and vocalist Bill Ward, the recording captures the band's ability to maintain their classic sound while experimenting with new textures. It remains a staple of their discography, often performed live to demonstrate the enduring power of their songwriting. The track exemplifies the era's shift toward a more polished production style while retaining the raw energy that characterized their earlier work.
