[Intro: Bertie McIntosh]
"It's in the trees
It's coming"

[Verse 1: Kate Bush]
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

[Chorus 1: Kate Bush]
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

[Verse 2: Kate Bush]
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 afraid to be there
Among your hounds of love
And feel your arms surrounding me
I've always been a coward
And never know what's good for me

[Chorus 2: Kate Bush]
Here I go, don't let me go
Never let me go, tie me to the mast
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

[Bridge: Kate Bush]
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

[Chorus 3: Kate Bush]
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
