When I was a child, running in the night

I was afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark and hiding on the streets

For 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 tree

Help me, someone, help me, please

And 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, caught by dogs 

He let me take him in my hands

His little heart, it beat so fast

That I am ashamed to be running away

From nothing real, I just can't deal with this

I feel ashamed to be there



Amongst your hounds of loving

I feel your arms surrounding me

I've always been a coward

And I dont know what's good for me



Watch, here I go

Don't let me go, hold me down

It's coming at me through the tree

Help me, someone, help me, please

I don't know what's good for me

I don't know what's good for me

Do you know what I need, do you know what I need?

I need a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh



Take my shoes off

And I will throw them in the lake

And I will be two steps on the water

Ooh, I know, I know, I know 

I don't know what's good for me

I don't know what's good for me 

Do you know what I need, do you know what I need?

I need a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I need a he-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
