Finishing The Hat
Yes, she looks for me, good
Let her look for me
To tell me why she left me
As I always knew she would
I had thought she'd understood
They have never understood
And no reason that they should
But, if anybody could
Finishing the hat
How you have to finish the hat
How you watch the rest of the world from a window
While you finish the hat
Mapping out a sky
What you feel like planning a sky
What you feel when voices that come through the window go
Until they distance and die,
Until there's nothing but sky
And how you're always turning back
Too late from the grass or the stick
Or the dog or the light
How the kind of woman willing to wait's
Not the kind that you want to find waiting
To return you to the night
Dizzy from the height
Coming from the hat
Studying the hat
Entering the world of the hat
Reaching through the world of the hat like a window
Back to this one from that
Studying a face
Stepping back to look at a face
Leaves a little space in the way like a window
But to see
It's the only way to see
And when the woman that you wanted goes
You can say to yourself
Well, I give what I give
But the woman who won't wait for you knows
That however you live there's a part of you
Always standing by, mapping out a sky
Finishing a hat
Starting on a hat
Finishing a hat
Look, I made a hat
Where there never was a hat
