lyrics

clamant clang, they're running
hu-hu-hu
hounds of love they're running
hu-hu-hu
day and night they're running
hu-hu-hu
tireless they're running
hu-hu-hu

they've got your scent and they'll follow you
give them an inch and they'll take an ell of you
you shouldn't play with them, they will see it through
you should beware of them, it's best thing you'd do

oh can't you see the great hunger in their big eyes
hungry for love they're chasing their fleeing prize
oh can't you see how sharp are their big big teeth
and their big ears, they can hear you heavily breathe

but they are running and running for very long
with the pitch black despair that is running along
they'll never satisfy that great hunger they bear
feeding on nothing more than just scare and fears

running running wild always misunderstood
maybe you are the one who can tame them for good
are you the one who's brave and can stand their glare
are you the one who can see that love cause it's there

hounds of love
my hounds of love

give them warm-hearted smile and they'll follow you
give them a bit of love maybe that will do
maybe they'll lie and cuddle right on your side
watch fondly over you with their eyes open wide
