Summer was gone and the heat died down
Autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
This was the time of no reply
Sun went down and the crowd went home
I was left by the roadside all alone
I turned to speak as they went by
This was 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
The trees on the hill had nothing to say
They would keep their dreams 'til another day
They stood and thought and wondered why
This was the time of no reply
Time goes by from year to year
No one asks why I'm 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
Summer was gone and the heat died down
Autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
This was the time of no reply
This was the time of no reply
This was the time of no reply
This was the time of no reply
This was the time of no reply
