[Verse 1]
Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody home?
I've only called to say
I'm sorry
The drums are in the dawn
And all the voices gone
And it seems that there are
No more songs
[Verse 2]
Once I knew a girl
A flower in a flame
I loved her as the sea
Sings sadly
Now the ashes of the dream
Can be found in the magazines
And it seems that there are
No more songs
[Verse 3]
Once I knew a sage
Who sang upon the stage
He told about the world
His lover
A ghost without a name
Stands ragged in the rain
And it seems that there are
No more songs
Hello, hello, hello

I've only called to say
I'm sorry
The drums are in the dawn
And all the voices gone
And it seems that there are
No more songs

Who sang upon the stage
He told about the world
His lover
A ghost without a name
Stands ragged in the rain
And it seems that there are
No more songs
