Finishing the Hat (Live) - Philip Quast

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 to the sky

Finishing a hat

Starting on a hat

Finishing a hat

Look I made a hat

Where there never was a hat
