Yva Peyret, Composition and vocals

You told me I was the source
The black stone of the volcano
The blue star of the Great Bear
The white foam of the torrent
You told me I was the queen
And the king of all my nights
I was the underground cave
And the rainbow of my desires

I who truly had nothing left
Except the desire to have nothing
I who lived in my past
Like a blind person in the dark
You gave me the will to believe
In a great eternity
I who ran left and right
Finally came to a stop…

And I sat at the edge of your star
Feet in the sun, heart in the clouds
And I sat at the edge of your star
Finally taking time to admire the view
And I saw infinity become so small
That I believed for a moment I was melting into time
Like children do
And I saw the universe like a great sail
When I sat at the edge of your star

It’s thanks to you that I understood
That as soon as one says “I love you”
One must accept
To no longer be quite the same
You say every word of love
Is a step forward
And that to love is always to die
And also to live at the same time
Your eyes showed me the way
That leads to eternal love
For me, it’s still too far
But I’m beginning to see the sky
Since you took my hand
Since you listened to me
I who suffered left and right
Finally came to a stop

And I sat at the edge of your star
Feet in the sun, heart in the clouds…
