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.
(Alternate between and A chords for the rest of the song)
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.
