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 want to wrap my coat around you Sometimes I want to keep you warm Sometimes I want to wrap my coat around you Sometimes I want to but I can't afford you
