Now That I Know

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 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's 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 now 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 kind ?gives us? a gentle breeze I'd see that swell Like a story in me to tell Told years away and past my baby dying so you raise them up To heaven or ways to hell They're unaware share to give a hand to help some --- Now That I Know - Devendra Banhart
