  • 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 Writer/s: Kate Bush

  • Jeff from Atlanta, GaI remember reading an old piece about a concert Kate had in England. I was always jealous that she never toured.. Me and my best friend would laugh and say we would drive the bus for her due to her fear of flying.. buying the collection was one of the best purchases ever.
  • Sara from Madison, Withis song is like my favorite song ever! i love kate bush...her music is sooo relaxing
  • Richard from Newport, Isle Of Wight, EnglandHounds of Love was covered by British four-piece band The Futureheads on their 2004 album, imaginatively titled "The Futureheads", and released as a single in February 2005. The Sunderland band cite Kate Bush as one of their biggest influences.
