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.
