When I was a child, running in the night, I was afraid of what might be Hiding in the dark and hiding on the street, and of what was following me The hounds of love are calling I've always been a coward, and I don't know what's good for me Well here I go, it's coming at me through the trees Help me, someone, help me, please on the water I found a fox, who was caught by dogs, he let me take him in my hands His little heart, it beat so fast And I'm ashamed to be running away From nothing real, I just can't deal with this I feel ashamed to be there Among your hounds of loving And feel your arms surround me I've always been a coward, and I don't know what's good for me Oh, here I go, don't let me go, hold me down It's coming at me through the trees Help me, someone, help me, please on the water And I will be, two steps on the water love, yeah water love, yeah love, yeah
