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
