Sweetheart
How I miss your heart
Beating next to mine
The right words
Were always hard to find
When all our time was fine
When darling you were mine, all mine
And I know, I know you had no choice
But I how I miss your voice
Singing right with mine
Flesh of my flesh
Soul of my soul
I come back home
All this darkness, cannot hurt us
Cause they made you from the light
Here on birthplace, don't be nervous
You will make it through, this night
Sweetheart
How I miss your heart
Beating next to mine
Flesh of my flesh
Soul of my soul
I come back home
How I miss your heart
Beating next to mine
The right words
Were always hard to find
When all our time was fine
When darling you were mine, all mine
And I know, I know you had no choice
But I how I miss your voice
Singing right with mine
Flesh of my flesh
Soul of my soul
I come back home
All this darkness, cannot hurt us
Cause they made you from the light
Here on birthplace, don't be nervous
You will make it through, this night
Sweetheart
How I miss your heart
Beating next to mine
Flesh of my flesh
Soul of my soul
I come back home

'How I miss your heart beating next to mine' seems a reference to the unborn baby and mother whose hearts are beating in close proximity to one another.
I think the part about the right words being hard to find could point to the inevitable growing apart between a mother and her child in some ways, or might be indicative of times when they two might not understand each other. The idea of the unborn baby 'belonging' to the mother can be seen in the line 'when darling you were mine, all mine' as in a sense, the only time a child truly 'belongs' to his or her mother is while in the womb. Once they're born they're for the most part a free individual.
The not having a choice part could be interpreted two ways. One being that a woman giving birth is not a choice; her body will eventually do what it was intended to do and get the baby out. Also there's the idea of a person not having a choice in being born. We don't ask to be born.
'Flesh of my flesh' and 'soul of my soul' make sense, both physically and spiritually, in the context of pregnancy and the transition into motherhood.
'All this darkness, cannot hurt us
cause they made you from the light
here on birthplace, don't be nervous
you will make it through, this night'
This stanza reminds me of the darkness of the womb, the 'lightness' of children and it alludes to a location, like a hospital or home where a baby would be born. The birthing process is scary for both mother and baby, but it's as if it's saying the baby shouldn't be worried and that making it out of the darkness will end (being born). Also, a lot of women labor through the nighttime hours and give birth in the morning.
I don't really know what to say about 'your voice, singing right with mine' and I come back home.'
Anyhow, those are my thoughts.
it's a heartbreakingly sad song but so beautiful.
I think it's pretty hard to ignore that this is a lament over an ex-lover. Quotes like, 'Darling,' 'When you were mine,''I know you had no choice,' along with the Flesh of my flesh I just explained it's pretty obvious that it's not a family member.
I TINK THIS IS ABOUT A WOMEN LOOSING IS BABY IN HER TOMMY
You will be forever missed, that's the gist of it.
