Straight To You

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Nick Cave
Language: English

Straight To You [English]

All the towers of Ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
This is the time of our great undoing
This is the time that I’ll come running

Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

The light in our window is fading
The candle gutters on the ledge
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing
And I’ll cry, girl but I’ll come a running

Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
Once again

Gone are the days of rainbows
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks

Straight to you
But I’ll come a running
Straight to you
But I’ll come a running
One more time

Heaven has denied us its kingdom
The saints are drunk howling at the moon
The chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I’ll run, babe, but I’ll come running

Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

War At Home

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Josh Groban & Dan Wilson
Language: English

War At Home [English]

Fallen brother he’s a fallen husband
He’s about to be woken in his hospital bed
He doesn’t want to rest
He just wants to run
And he’s tired of being told that he’s the lucky one

Caped crusader she’s newborn leader
But you should see her when her daughter’s on the phone
And she wipes the tears away
And she laces up because there’s still hell to pay
And it sure feels like hell today

And she says
You see these hands they’re bruised and brown
They’re yours alone
Hold on love we’re still going down
Hold on love we’re still fighting at home
The war at home

Innocence behind his broken expression
He’s a child of mercy he’s our unlearned lesson
And he’s trying to wake up
From this wilderness his world has now become
He’s reaching out to those he’s running from

And he says
You see these hands they’re bruised and brown
They’re yours alone
Hold on love we’re still going down
Hold on love we’re still fighting at home
The war at home

And it’s (one step forward and two steps back)
This is all who are marching
(one step forward two steps back)
This is young and old
(one step forward two steps back)
Through the void of silence
You are not alone

You see these hands their million strong
They are yours now
Hold on love we’re all going down

Você Existe Em Mim

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Josh Groban & Lester Mendes & Carlinhos Brown
Language: Portuguese

Você Existe Em Mim [Portuguese]

Vim amar você até o final
Da chuva que navega nosso corpo tropical
Espero amar você até durar
A lua que esclarece esse sol sem descansar jamais
Amar o quanto precisar que ame
E então recuse a escuridão te amo
Pra que chorar
Chorar é fim
Você existe em mim
Vim servir amor e aterrissar
Os anjos dos meus versos
Pra você não me deixar de amar
Será que em Deus os versos nascem assim
Como em toda primavera nascem flores
Pra mimar jardim
Amar o quanto precisar que ame
E então recuse a escuridão te amo
Pra que chorar
Chorar é fim
Você existe em mim
A areia lambe o sal
Já passou o temporal e a solução só você e eu
A alma bebe o mar que vazou do coração
E você me faz me fazer feliz
Amar o quanto precisar que ame
E então recuse a escuridão te amo
Pra que chorar
Chorar é fim
Você existe em mim

You In Me There [English]

I came to love you till the end
The rain that our body surfing tropical
I hope I love you 'til last
The Moon explains that the sun without ever resting
Love how they need love
And then refuse to love the darkness
Why would cry
Crying is so
You in me
I came to serve and love land
The angels in my verses
For you do not stop loving me
Is God in the verses are born that way
Like every spring flowers grow
To pamper garden
Love how they need love
And then refuse to love the darkness
Why would cry
Crying is so
You in me
Sand Lick Salt
The storm has passed and the solution just you and me
The soul drinks the sea that leaked from the heart
And you make me make me happy
Love how they need love
And then refuse to love the darkness
Why would cry
Crying is so
You in me

Love Only Knows

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Josh Groban & Dan Wilson
Language: English

Love Only Knows [English]

I’ve tried to hold this back so long
And we’re always such a good thing when it’s gone
It be alright, if we just left our heads tonight

Take me away from this old game
Saying that we’re both too much the same

It be alright, if I just stayed with you tonight
And before I go, will I ever see you again
She said love only knows

Love only knows
If we’ll give into fear and chose life undercover
She said love only knows
If it’s special enough then we’ll chose one another
We’ll chose each other

You were the secret I loved to keep
The name I would only sing in my sleep
Would it be alright, if we just lose ourselves tonight
And if you let go, will you reach out again
She said love only knows

Love only knows, if we’ll give into fear and chose life undercover
She said love only knows, if it’s special enough then we’ll chose one another
We’ll choose each other

And I can’t breathe without you and I don’t
And I can’t live without love and I won’t
And I won’t

Love only knows
If we’ll give into fear and choose life under cover
She said love only knows if it’s special enough then we’ll choose one another
Love only knows, how your arms pull me in like the tide pulls me under
She said love only knows just how long we can run before we lose each other
And we need each other

And I can’t live without you and I won’t

If I Walk Away

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Josh Groban & Dan Wilson
Language: English

If I Walk Away [English]

Lately, I’ve been the quiet one
Waiting searching the lines of the songs you played for me
Sailing into the misty air
Fading bound for I don’t know where
When I’m there I’ll see

And If I walk away
Please follow me
If I walk away
Please follow me

Weightless drifting through stars I got
Faithless woke in the dark and I made this from my dream
Play me all your sweet rhymes
Recreate me, now comes the time when I’ll need your truth to see

So if I walk away
Please follow me
Yeah if I walk away
Please follow me

Walk away
Let the fear fall away
Into the fire you made
Scarlet and gold
Walk away
Head for the light of day
Follow a brighter way
Out of the cold and dark
Down to the one bright spark
Futures that all might start
Someday

So if I walk away
Please follow me
If I walk away
Please follow me

Fragments shells of a long ago lifetime
Faces that once were mine
Thrown down by the sea

So if I walk away
Please follow me
Yes if I walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Would you please follow me
