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 what was following me

Oh the hounds of love

I've always been a coward

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

But 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

I'm gonna take him in my arms

His little heart

It beats so fast

And I'm ashamed of running away

I've nothing real

But I just can't deal with this

I'm so ashamed to be here

Oh the hounds of love

Feel your arms around me

I've always been a coward

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

But 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
