  • 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
    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

    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 Writer/s: BENJAMIN WALTER DAVID LOVETT, EDWARD JAMES MILTON DWANE, MARCUS OLIVER JOHNSTONE MUMFORD, WINSTON AUBREY ALADAR MARSHALL
