Devendra Banhart - Now That I Know Lyrics
Now that I know
The way it goes
You gotta pay back every penny that you owe
Twelve years old
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
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

Devendra Banhart Now That I Know Comments
Oh you give em away, but they'll come after you some day, wanna know why nobody was ever there to help them? (Why no one helped with stamper at apt?)
Proper grown up music. As deep as you are willing to go...……..
Love this song
Sit back, close eyes, go to a different place. For a short time anyway.
"Never renounce or ever claim to be, and never buy that freedom just ain't free." That line still brings me back years later.
great song, that magical, mysterious vibe reminds me of A Woman Like You by Bert Jansch
Brasil tá na área genteeeeeeeee. 2018 Foda
This song is truly mesmerizing. Makes you feel like a wandering leaf traveling with the wind, moving from one stop to another, exploring places that have all kinds of different stories ~
Remember kids.. Glory bound with sparrow in hand.

Never seen it but from all the comments on tracks I listen to, it must have a killer soundtrack.
Qué fuma Devendra? Vengo oyendo su nombre hace tiempo. Qué bueno lo que hace! Tengo como dos años no parándole y hoy por fin lo puse. Qué raro es y qué bueno es!!
Heard this as part of the "Yossi" sound track, it haunted me, I had to find it. I'm glad it was here.

No it was on my ipod, my friend had just imported like 10 gigs of indie rock to my computer and i hadn't heard like any of it yet.
this is amazing. never heard anything that captures such beauty since i first listened to Nick Drake.. this has a very similar feel to his music.. i cant think of any other musician that has that. just pure brilliance.
моя любимая песня,мне так хорошо и спокойно под неё,я как-будто в транс впадаю и забываю обо всем
muero de amor por davendra,,,, creo es un buen regalo para el cuerpo, el alma, para pensarse un poco en paz............ me inspira girar............
I bumped into this song totally randomly. It's strange because it expresses exactly how I feel right now.
God Bless you, your parents!
Peace and Light!!!
Merda essas propagandas enfiadas goela abaixo agora. Quer escutar uma música boa e começa com um lixo sonoro (no caso, funk idiota da C&A)...
me hiciste emocionar, siento mucho lo de tu papá, son tristes las despedidas.
Fantastic song! I am listening to this on a moderate dose of mushrooms, and it's taking me to the right place!!!!
I love this song - but It reminds me of a time in the past in summer that I miss so much I can't listen to it
@benkata yeah i just heard this on Luck and had to write the lyrics down and search for it ....cant wait to find more of his Music this is Great stuff.
Marry me Devendra?

@swankygoose
i cried when i read what you wrote. i lost an aunt & i always think of her when i hear this. & im sure you're dad was very happy when you played it at the funeral :)
skins brought me here :D
The first time I heard this song was in my car on the way to say my final goodbye to my dad at the hospital.
I can't get through this song without tearing up now, I plan to play it as his funeral this Friday, I think he would have liked it :)
