Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was a child, running in the night
Always afraid of what might be
Hiding in the dark and hiding on the street
No matter what was following me
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
The hounds of love are calling
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
I've always been a coward
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
And I don't know what's good for me
[Verse 2]
Well, here I go
It's coming at me through the tree
Help me, someone, help me, please
Take your shoes off, and I will throw them in the lake
And I will be two steps on the water
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Amongst your hounds of loving
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
I feel your arms surrounding me
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
I've always been a coward
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
And I don't know what's good for me
[Bridge]
Well, 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
Take my shoes off, and I will throw them in the lake
And I will be two steps on the water
[Outro]
Do you know what I need? Do you know what I need?
I need a yeah, y-y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah, y-y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah, oh
Take my shoes off, and I will throw them in the lake
And I will be two steps on the water
Water, water, water
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
