Winter Winds

As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts

Oh, the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms

Was it love or fear of the cold that led us though the night?

For every kiss, your beauty trumped my doubt

And my head told my heart, "Let love grow"

But my heart told my head, "This time, no, this time, no"

We'll be washed and buried one day, my girl

And the time we were given will be left for the world

The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague

So let the memories be good for those who stay

Hey

And my head told my heart, "Let love grow"

But my heart told my head, "This time, no"

Yes, my heart told my head, "This time, no, this time, no"

Oh, the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved

Was the same that sent me into your arms

Oh, and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone

And no hope, no hope will overcome

But if your strife strikes at your sleep

Remember spring swaps snow for leaves

You'll be happy and wholesome again

When the city clears and sun ascends

Hey

And my head told my heart, "Let love grow"

But my heart told my head, "This time, no"

And my head told my heart, "Let love grow"

But my heart told my head, "This time, no, this time, no"

Oh-oh, oh-oh
