|
Summer was gone and the heat died down |
|
And Autumn reached for her golden crown |
|
I looked behind as I heard a sigh |
|
But this was the time of no reply. |
|
The sun went down and the crowd went home |
|
I was left by the roadside all alone |
|
I turned to speak as they went by |
|
But this was the time of no reply. |
|
The time of no reply is calling me to stay |
|
There is no hello and no goodbye |
|
To leave there is no way. |
|
The trees on the hill had nothing to say |
|
They would keep their dreams till another day |
|
So they stood and thought and wondered why |
|
For this was the time of no reply. |
|
Time goes by from year to year |
|
And no one asks why I am standing here |
|
But I have my answer as I look to the sky |
|
This is the time of no reply. |
|
The time of no reply is calling me to stay |
|
There's no hello and no goodbye |
|
To leave there is no way. |
