"Winter" lyrics

"Winter"

And it sure been a cold, cold winter
And the wind that ain't been blowin' from the south
It's sure been a cold, cold winter
And the light of 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 the light of 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, Lord
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

Well well well

Sometimes I think about you, baby
Sometimes I cry about you Lord
Well well well
Well well well

Yeah, and I wanna wrap my coat around you
Yeah, I wrap my coat around you

Yeah, I wanna wrap my coat around
Baby, sometimes I wanna keep you warm
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 want to burn a candle for you
Just how I wanna keep you warm warm warm
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you, Lord I cry
Sometimes if feels like
