Now That I Know – Devendra BanhartBy Now that I knowThe way it goesYou gotta pay back every penny that you oweTwelve years oldIn your mama’s clothesShut the blinds and lock up every doorAnd if you hearSomeone’s comin nearJust close your eyes and make them disappear nowYears awayFinds me here todayOn my own, always on my way nowSo I send my friendsGifts from where I’ve beenSomething for the hand they’re never there to lendBetter keep those eyesClimbing paradiseAnd don’t pretend you won’t reach it in the end nowDearest dearI know you been hereWhy’d you run tell me why’d you disappear nowThat you’re notHere with meSeems to be the only time that I can see you clearlyI may not knowHow to treat or give you what you needBut I am a gentleman who says what he means nowAnd now I singUpon my kneesAnd praise the kindness of a gentle breezeI see it swellLike a story in me to tellTold years away and past my baby dyingSo you raise them upTo heaven always hellthey’re unaware, share, give a hand to help sonOh you give them awayBut they’ll come back to you somedayWanna know why nobody was ever there to help themAnd no it ain’t fairAnd if God forbid you careIt’s enough to get you in a whole lotta troubleOh realizeIt ain’t wise to idealizeOr put your life in the hands of any struggleNever renounceOr ever claim to beAnd never buy that freedom just ain’t free nowElla sangSifting in the sandLike a hymn within to help us understandHeaven awaitsWe’re making our standGlory bound and sparrow in our hand www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
