Songtext No end Sandy Denny

No end

(Sandy Denny)
They said that it was snowing
In astounded tones upon the news
I wonder why they're always so surprised
'Cos every year it snows
Frozen images of snowploughs
As they churn along the motorways
I haven't had no boots to wear
Or any loot to spare
For days and days
I've travelled more than forty miles today
I must have grown some wings
It's strange how time just seems to fly away
I can't remember things
In a world of my own they say
And who can blame them
They're just not the same
I've known about it all along
Though I thought I was all wrong
And it's such a shame
Why don't you have no brushes any more
I used to like your style
I see no paintings anywhere
And there's no smell of turpentine
Did it really have no meaning?
Well, I never thought I'd hear those words from you
Who needs a meaning anyway
I'd settle anyday
For a very fine view
Well, I couldn't even tell you all the changes
Since you saw me last
My dreams were like the autumn leaves
They faded and they fell so fast
In fact as you say the snows are here
And how the time it slips away
But I'm glad you did pass by
I think I'll have another try
It's another day
The day and then the night had gone
It was not long before the dawn
And the travelling one
Who sat so stiffly in the chair
Began to yawn
Having kept me here so long my friend
I hope you have a sleeping place to lend
But the painter he just smiled and said
"I'll see you in a while"
This one has no end
