Now That I Know


Now That I Know



Now that I know
The way it goes
You gotta pay back every penny that you owe

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

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
