David Sylvian Heartbeat (returning To The Womb) Lyrics

Heartbeat (returning To The Womb) Lyrics

I see the lines in the palm of its hand now



I listen hard but no words spring to mind



And it sounds so sweet, listen to its heartbeat



And I'm drowning in its sea



Falling at its feet



Listen to my heartbeat baby







And the blood sail leaves tonight



Fated in its blindness



And it won't be long before help is at hand



And the darkness sleeps



Cushioning the heartbeat



And I killed the captain, sank the fleet



To liberate the heartbeat baby



And it sounds so sweet



And it sounds so sweet 



Listen to our hearts beat







And the darkness sleeps



Cushioning the heartbeat



And I'm drowning in its sea



Falling at its feet



Listen to my heartbeat baby







It speaks to ghosts and souls alike



Springs to life, and doesn't think twice



Wrapped in the blood sail



Bathed in snow



Nailed to the source and it won't let go



Fed on the bible, grown from trees



It opened the mind and the heart was free



A home in the silence, safe from sound



Where trouble sleeps and the light is found
