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
