Now That I Know - Devendra Banhart Lyrics
Artist: Devendra Banhart
Song: Now That I Know
Album: Cripple Crow
[B
u y "Cripple Crow" CD]
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 coming near
Just close your eyes and make them disappear now
Years away
Finds me here today
On my own and knowless of 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 near
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 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 day of dying
So you raise them up
To heaven always hell
There are nowhere to share give a hand to help some
Oh you give them away
But they'll come back to you someday
What I know I know nobody's ever there to help him
And I know it ain't fair
And if God forbid you care
It's enough to get you in a whole lot of trouble
I realize it ain't wise to idealize
Or put your life in the hands of any struggle
And every nights or ever claim to be
Never buy that freedom just ain't free now
Ella said
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
