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 street
And of what was following me
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Now hounds of love are hunting
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I've always been a coward
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
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
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Among your hounds of love
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
And feel your arms surround me
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I've always been a coward
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I 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

Doo-doo-doo-doo
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
Your, yeah, your
Your love
Doo-doo

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?
I need lo-lo-lo-lo-love, yeah
