As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts
On the warm in your eyes swept me into your arms
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us trough 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 we live and love 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 pestilence is won when you are gone and I am gone
And no hope, no hope will overcome

But if your strife strikes at your sleep
Remember spring swaps from snow for leaves
You´ll be happy and whole some again
When the city clears and sun ascends

[Instrumental]

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