It's in the trees It's coming 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 Now hounds of love are hunting 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 And feel your arms surround me I've always been a coward And never know what's good for me Oh 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 I don't know what's good for me I don't know what's good for me I need your love love love love love yeah 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? I need love love love love love yeah
