Run out of things to say (3,2)

I believe the answer is:

dry up

(Other definitions for dry up that I've seen before include "Turn off gas" , "Shed moisture or stop talking" , "work in kitchen" , "Rude command to stop talking, or polish dishes after washing" , "Lose moisture? -shut your mouth!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
