Winter Winds

Winter Winds is the third track off of debut album Sigh No More, by Mumford & Sons.

Release
Winter Winds was released as a single on December 7, 2009 in the UK.

Single
The CD single was released with, of course, Winter Winds on it, but also with an amazing song called "Hold On To What You Believe." A personal favorite of mine.

Lyrics
As the winter winds litter London with

Lonely hearts

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, this time no

The shame that sent me off from the

God that I once loved

Was the same that sent me into

Your arms

And pestilence has 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, this time no
