Time Of No Reply Lyrics - Nick Drake

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 answers 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 

And Autumn reached for her golden crown 

I looked behind as I heard a sigh 

But this was the time of no reply
