Signs of sorrow (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tears

'signs of sorrow' is the definition.
(tears cried in sorrow)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tears that I've seen before include "charges" , "Rips with signs of sorrow" , "Shed them and cry" , "exuding drops" , "Lacerations (before bedtime?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The Independent.
