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 trees
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
Mmm, 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 la-la-la-la-love
Yeah your yeah
Your, your love
Do you know what
I really need?
Do you know what
I really need?
La-la-la-la-la-la yeah
