D'être à vous
Marie Laforêt
To Be Yours
I know just who you are
The fires spin in my head
And the doors swing open
I'm waiting for you
Cracked bells say no
But I don't care about your name
In the fireplace, the flames are right
{Chorus:}
I want to be yours
To be yours, to be yours
So much
To be yours
Sleep flees from my bed
In the hollow paths, I follow it
I wait to almost be afraid
Of a wolf that could be you
The night listens to me and I talk
About myself and cathedrals
About anything and when I'm done
{to Chorus}
To meet face to face
I would retrace my steps
No matter how much time passes
It won't erase you
Diamonds crack under my feet
But the cold only bites my fingers
The winter wind doesn't extinguish my cheeks
I think of you
Of pagodas with roofs of vermilion
Of white rivers under the sun
I clutch my fur
And I confess that
{to Chorus}
The black horse that eludes me
I already see the dawn far away
The bridge must open
The day is here
I think of you
Shop windows and cars dance
All in a great silence
Because a hundred guitars speak to me of you
And
{to Chorus}
