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
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, 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
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"
