Hounds Of Love

When I was a child

Running in the night

Afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark

Hiding in the street

And of what was following me



Now hounds of love are hunting

I've always been a coward

And I don't know what's good for me



Here I go

It's coming for me through the trees

Help me, someone

Help me, please

Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake

And I'll be two steps on the water



I found a fox caught by dogs

He let me take him in my hands

His little heart it beats so fast

And I'm ashamed of running away

From nothing real

I just can't deal with this

But I'm still afraid to be there



Among your hounds of love

And feel your arms surround me

I've always been a coward

And never know what's good for me



Here I go

Don't let me go

Hold me down

It's coming for me through the trees

Help me, darling

Help me, please

Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake

And I'll be two steps on the water



I don't know what's good for me

I don't know what's good for me

I need your love



Take your shoes off and throw them in the lake



Do you know what I really need?

Do you know what I really need?

I need love
