TORN

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldnt be that man I adored
You dont seem to know, dont seem to care what your heart is for
But I dont know him anymore
Theres nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
Thats whats going on, nothings fine Im torn

Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Youre a little late, Im already torn

So I guess the fortune tellers right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I dont care, I have no luck, I dont miss it all that much
Theres just so many things that I cant touch, Im torn

Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Youre a little late, Im already torn. torn.

Theres nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
Thats whats going on, nothings right, Im torn

Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and Im ashamed bound and broken on the floor
Youre a little late, Im already torn

Jack Jones (Pop), Astrud Gilberto (Jazz), and Ginny Arnell (Pop-Rock) make up this eclectic trio of performances. Each sings a different version of the same song-Manhã De Carnaval, Astrud in the original Portuguese, Jack Jones with the better known version in the USA, "A Day In The Life Of A Fool" and Ginny Arnell performs a rarer version "Carnival".

All three create magic in their own respective styles, all three use the same haunting Bossa Nova melody written by Luiz Bonfa for the 1959 Brazilian movie "Orfeu Negro" ("Black Orpheus").

Manha de Carnaval - By Luiz Bonfa
The Morning of the Carnival.

I'll sing to the sun in the sky,
I'll sing 'till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!

I'll sing as I play my guitar,
I'll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
On this Carnival day,
And stay here in my heart? .

Will true love come my way,
On this Carnival day,
Or will I ~ be alone with my dream?

Hi, Can someome help me out, I've been living up to my avatar & can't get recall from my head. Driving me mad.
Been listing to CD, Ronrocco by Gustavavo Santaolalla, track 9, Iquaza is (am certain) movie theme song, from movie with Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchett, year or so ago, set in Middle east. Can't Think of Movie Title.

The sea
which one sees dancing along the clear gulfs
to sparkles of silver.
The sea
Of changing sparkles
Under the rain.

The sea
Confuses the summer sky's sheep
With angels so pure.
The sea
Shepherdess of blue infinity.

Look!
Next to the ponds
Those tall wet reeds.
Look!
Those white birds
And those rusty houses

The Sea
Has cradled them
Along the clear gulfs.
The Sea
Has cradled my heart for life.
