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
