Finishing the Hat |
Mademoiselles |
You end me, pal… |
Second bottle |
Ah, she looks for me Bonnet flapping |
Yapping… |
Ruff! |
Chicken |
Pastry… |
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 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 women 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 a hat |
Starting on a hat |
Finishing a hat |
Look, I made a hat |
Where there never was a hat |
