MUMFORD & SONS LYRICS - Winter Winds

"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



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



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"



And my head told my heart

"Let love grow"

But my heart told my head

"This time no

This time no"
