Leonard Cohen – You Know Who I Am (Live in Brussels) Lyrics

You Know Who I Am (Live in Brussels) Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

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, yes
And I need you to kill a child
You know who I am
You’ve stared at the sun
Well I am the one who loves
Changing from nothing to one

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
You’ve stared at the sun
Well I am the one who loves
Changing from nothing to one

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

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’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 might also like

Leonard Cohen
You know who I am
You’ve stared at the sun
Well I am the one who loves
Changing from nothing to one
