Texty: Leonard Cohen. Live Songs. You Know Who I Am.

:
I cannot follow you, my love,
you cannot follow me.
I am the distance you put between
all of the moments that we will be.

You know who I am,
you've stared at the sun,
well I am the one who loves
changing from nothing to one.

Sometimes I need you naked,
sometimes I need you wild,
I need you to carry my children in here
and I need you to kill a child.

You know who I am...

If you should ever track me down
I will surrender right there
I'll leave with you one broken man
whom I will teach you to repair.

You know who I am...

I cannot follow you, my love,
you cannot follow me.
I am not life, I am not death,
I am not slave or free.

You know who I am...

Sometimes I'm gonna need you naked,
sometimes gonna need you wild,
I need you to carry my children in
and I need you to kill a child.

You know who I am...
