Lyrics

 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 streets
 And what was following me
 
 The hounds of love are hunting
 I've always been a coward
 And I don't know what's good for me
 
 Oh, here I go
 It's coming 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
 
 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
 I'm still afraid to be there
 
 Among the 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
 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
 
 I don't know what's good for me
 I don't know what's good for me
 I need love, love, love, love, love, yeah
 Your love
 
 And take your shoes off
 And throw them in the lake
 Do you know what I really need?
 Do you know what I really need?
 My love, love, love, love, love, yeah
