Kelli O'hara - Finishing The Hat lyrics

rate me

Yes, he looks for me, good

Let him look for me

To tell me why he left me

As I always knew he would

I had thought he 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 the voices that come from 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 man

Who's willing to waits, 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 the 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 one man that you wanted goes

You can say to yourself, "Well, I'd give what I'd give"

But the one man who won't wait for you knows

That however you live, there's a part of you

Always standing by, mapping out the sky

Finishing the hat, starting on a hat

Finishing a hat, look, I made a hat

Where there never was a hat
