Winter Winds Lyrics

Mumford & Sons

• 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"
