Lyrics for You Know Who I Am - Live in Brussels, 1972
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 Ah, you know who I am You 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 Ah, you know who I am You 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 Oh, you know who I am You 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 lay if I am not dead I am not slave or free Oh, you know who I am You stared at the sun Well, I am the one Who loves changing from nothing to one Sometimes, I'm gonna need you naked Sometimes, I'm gonna need you wild I need you to carry my children in And I need you to kill a child Oh, you know who I am You stared at the sun Well, I am the one Who loves changing from nothing to one
