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 through 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 

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 

And 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 

And my head told my heart 
"Let love grow" 
But my heart told my head 
"This time no"
