Hounds of Love
When I was a childRunning in the nightAfraid of what might be.
Hiding in the darkHiding in the streetAnd of what was following me.
Hounds of love are hunting meI've always been a cowardAnd I don't know what's good for me.
Here I goIt's coming for me through the treesHelp me, someoneHelp me, pleaseTake my shoes offAnd throw them in the lakeAnd I'll beTwo steps on the water.
I found a foxCaught by dogsHe let me take him in my handsHis little heartIt beats so fastAnd I'm ashamed of running awayFrom nothing realI just can’t deal with thisBut I'm still afraid to be there.
Among your hounds of loveI feel your arms surrounding meI've always been a cowardI never know what's good for me.
Here I goDon't let me goHold me downIt's coming for me through the treesHelp me darlingHelp me pleaseTake my shoes offAnd throw them in the lakeAnd I'll beTwo steps on the water.
