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 thro' the trees

Help me someone, help me please

Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake.

And I'll be 2 steps on the water.

I found a fox caught by dogs

He let me take him in my hands

His little heart 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 yours 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 shores 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, yeah -

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, love, love, love.
