(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

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´d 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´d been out in Stony 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
Lord well well well

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 burn a candle for you
