No End Lyrics - Singles - Denny Sandy

(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
