The one lyric Leonard Cohen always wished he had written
“I cannot follow you, my love
You cannot follow me
I am the distance you put between
All 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”
--“You Know Who I Am” by Leonard Cohen
