Lyrics

[Intro]

It's in the trees!

It's coming!

[Verse 1]

When I was a child

Running in the night

Afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark

Hidin' in the street

And of what was following me

[Verse 2]

Now hounds of love are hunting

I've always been a coward

And I don't know what's good for me

[Verse 3]

Oh, here I go

It's comin' for me through the trees

Oh, 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

[Verse 4]

I found a fox caught by dogs

He let me take him in my hands

His little heart, it beat so fast

And I'm ashamed of running away

From nothing real

I just can't deal with this

I'm still afraid to be there

[Verse 5]

Among the hounds of love

I feel your arms surround me

I've always been a coward

I never know what's good for me

[Verse 6]

Oh, here I go

Don't let me go

Hold me down

It's coming for me through the trees

Oh, 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

[Verse 7]

I don't know what's good for me

I don't know what's good for me

I need lo-lo-lo-lo-love, yeah, yo

Yeah, yo

Your love

Take your shoes off and throw them in the lake

Do you know what I really need?

Do you know what I really need?

Lo-lo-lo-lo-love, yeah
