No End - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

They said that it was snowing in astounded tones upon the news

I wonder why they're always so surprised 'cause 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 any 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 any day 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"
