NOW THAT I KNOW Lyrics – Devendra Banhart

NOW THAT I KNOW Lyrics by Devendra Banhart

Now that I know
The way it goes
You’ve 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 coming near

Just close your eyes and make them disappear now
Years away
Finds me here today
On my own and always on my way now

So I send my friends
Gifts from where i’ve been
Something for the hand that 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’ve 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 I can see you clearly

I may not know
How to treat or give you what you need
But I am a gentle man 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 day of dying
So you raise them up
To have and always have
They’re unaware of share or give a hand to help some

Oh you give them away
But they’ll come back to you someday
Wanna know why nobody was ever there to help them
And not it ain’t fair

And if God forbid you care
It’s enough to get you in a whole lot of trouble
Awww 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 last stand

Glory bound and sparrow in our hand
