And it sure been a cold, cold winter

And the wind ain't been blowin' from the south

It's sure been a cold, cold winter

And a lotta love is all burned out



It sure been a hard, hard winter

My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground

And I hope it's gonna be a long, hot summer

And a lotta love will be burnin' bright



And I wish I been out in California

When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out

But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle

And the restoration plays have all gone 'round



It sure been a cold, cold winter

My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground

And the fields has all been brown and fallow

And the springtime take a long way around



Yeah, and I wish I been out in Stone Canyon

When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out

But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle

And the restoration plays have all gone 'round



Sometimes I think about you, baby

Sometimes I cry about you



Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you

Sometimes I wanna keep you warm

Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you

Sometimes I wanna but I can't afford you
