Heartbeat (Tainai Kaiki II Returning to the Womb) Songtext
von David Sylvian

I see the lines in the palm of it′s hand now
I listen hard but no words spring to mind
And it sounds so sweet, listen to it's heartbeat
And I′m drowning in it's sea
Falling at it's feet
Listen to my heartbeat baby

And the blood sail leaves tonight
Fated in it′s blindness
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 it′s sea
Falling at it's 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

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


Listen to my heartbeat
It won't be long
Tainai Kaiki
It won′t be long
Tainai Kaiki
Won′t be long
Tainai Kaiki
It won't be long
Tainai Kaiki

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
Listen to my heart beat

′Cause It won't be long
Sounds so sweet
Listen to my heart
