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
