You Know Who I Am

Leonard Cohen · Complete Studio Albums Collection [2011]

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

And I need you to kill a child.



You know who I am...



If you should ever track me down

I will surrender there

And I will 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 the distance you put between

All of the moments that we will be.



You know who I am...
