Now That I Know Lyrics - Devendra Banhart

Now that I know 

The way it goes 

You gotta pay back every penny that you owe 

Twelve years old 

In your mama's clothes 

Shut the blinds and lock up every door 

And if you hear 

Someone's comin near 

Just close your eyes and make them disappear now 

Years away 

Finds me here today 

On my own, always on my way now 

So I send my friends 

Gifts from where I've been 

Something for the hand they're never there to lend

Better keep those eyes 

Climbing paradise 

And don't pretend you won't reach it in the end now 

Dearest dear 

I know you been here 

Why'd you run tell me why'd you disappear now 

That you're not 

Here with me 

Seems to be the only time that I can see you clearly 

I may not know 

How to treat or give you what you need 

But I am a gentleman who says what he means now 

And now I sing 

Upon my knees 

And praise the kindness of a gentle breeze 

I see it swell 

Like a story in me to tell 

Told years away and past my baby dying 

So you raise them up 

To heaven always hell 

they're unaware, share, give a hand to help son 

Oh you give them away 

But they'll come back to you someday 

Wanna know why nobody was ever there to help them 

And no it ain't fair 

And if God forbid you care 

It's enough to get you in a whole lotta trouble 

Oh realize 

It ain't wise to idealize 

Or put your life in the hands of any struggle 

Never renounce 

Or ever claim to be 

And never buy that freedom just ain't free now 

Ella sang 

Sifting in the sand 

Like a hymn within to help us understand 

Heaven awaits 

We're making our stand 

Glory bound and sparrow in our hand
