When I was a child, running in the night, I was afraid of what might be   Hiding in the dark and hiding on the street, and of what was following me      The hounds of love are calling   I've always been a coward, and I don't know what's good for me      Well here I go, it's coming at me through the trees   Help me, someone, help me, please   Take my shoes off, and I will throw them in the lake, and I will be, two steps on the water      I found a fox, who was caught by dogs, he let me take him in my hands   His little heart, it beat so fast   And I'm ashamed to be running away   From nothing real, I just can't deal with this   I feel ashamed to be there      Among your hounds of loving   And feel your arms surround me   I've always been a coward, and I dont know what's good for me      Oh, here I go, don't let me go, hold me down   It's coming at me through the trees   Help me, someone, help me, please   Take my shoes off, and I will throw them in the lake, and I will be, two steps on the water   And I will be, two steps on the water      Do you know what I need, do you know what I need, I need love love love love love, yeah   Take your shoes off, and throw them in the lake, and I will be, two steps on the water   Do you know what I need, do you know what I need, I need love love love love love, yeah   Do you know what I need, do you know what I need, I need love love love love love, yeah
