I could make my bed in the deepest sea,
In a desert storm you'd find me,
In the streets of New York,
With a million people,
You're always right behind me,
I fled you down the days,
I fled you down the nights
I fled you down the years
Where could I go, Where could I hide
To you even the dark is light
Around this foggy mountainside
Got the Hound of Heaven on my heels tonight
Got the Hound of Heaven on my heels tonight
To the feet that follow
Every hill and hollow
Every burning swallow of liquid fear
Trying to evade you,
As your love pursues that constant beat is
Nothing new
I fled you down the days,
I fled you down the nights
I fled you down the years
Where could I go, Where could I hide
To you even the dark is light
Around this foggy mountainside
Got the Hound of Heaven on my heels tonight
Got the Hound of Heaven on my heels tonight
A jealous heart is on my tracks
All the time, all the time
And I can hear him whispering,
You are mine, you are mine
A jealous heart is on my tracks
All the time, all the time
And I can hear him whispering,
You are mine, you are mine
Where could I go, Where could I hide
To you even the dark is light
Around this foggy mountainside
Got the Hound of Heaven on my heels tonight
Got the Hound of Heaven on my heels tonight
