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 Hounds of love are hunting me I've always been a coward And i don't know what's good for me 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 He let me take him in my hands His little heart It beats 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 I feel your arms surrounding me I've always been a coward I never know what's good for me Here i go Don't let me go Hold me down It's coming for me through the trees Help me darling Help me please Take my shoes off And throw them in the lake And i'll be two steps on the water Take my shoes off And throw them in the lake And i'll be two steps on the water And i'll be two steps on the water Take my shoes off And throw them in the lake And i'll be two steps on the water
