Hounds Of Love

 "It's in the trees!
 It's coming!"

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

Oh here I go!
It's coming for me through the tree
Oh help me, someone!
Help me, please!

And 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 beat 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
Mmmm, and never know what's good for me

Oh, here I go!
Don't let me go!
Hold me down!
It's coming for me through the trees
Oh help me, darling,
Help me, please!

And 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 love love love love love love, yeah!

Do you know what I really need?
Do you know what I really need?
I need love love love love love love, yeah!
