| 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. |
