"Winter" lyrics

Winter

And it sure been a cold
Cold winter
And the wind ain't been blowing
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 dragging
Across the ground
And I hope it's gonna be
A long, hot summer
And a lotta love
Will be burning bright

And I wish I
Been out in California
When the lights on all
The Christmas trees went out
But I been burning
My bell, book and candle
And the restoration plays
Have all gone round

It sure been a cold
Cold winter
My feet been dragging
Across 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 burning
My bell, book and candle
And the restoration plays
Have all gone round
Well, well, well

Sometimes I think about you, baby, oh well
Oh, sometimes I cry about you, love
Well, well, well, well, well, well
Yeah, I wanna wrap my coat around you
Yeah, I wanna wrap my coat around you

Yeah, I wanna wrap my coat around you
Baby
Sometimes I wanna
Keep you warm and
Sometimes I wanna
Wrap my coat around you
Sometimes I wanna
But I can't afford you
Sometimes I wanna
Wrap my coat around you
Sometimes I wanna
Burn a candle for you
This hour I wanna keep you
Warm, warm, warm
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you
Lord, and cry
Ooh, sometimes I feels like
Whoah, my, my, my
