Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, oh
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
[Verse 1]
And it's 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
[Verse 2]
It's 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
[Chorus]
And I wish I'd been out in California
When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out
But I've been burnin' my bell, book, and candle
And the restoration plays has all gone 'round
[Verse 3]
It's 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
[Chorus]
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
Oh L-Lord
Well, well, well
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I think about you, baby, well
Oh, sometimes I cry about you, Lord
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well
Yeah, and I'll wrap my coat around you, woman
Yeah, I'll wrap my coat around you, woman
Oh Lord, I'm talkin' 'bout
[Verse 5]
Yeah, and I'll wrap my coat around
Well, baby, know that sometimes I wanna a-keep you warm
Well, ah, sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you
Sometimes I wanna burn a candle for you
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you, Lord
Sometimes I wanna, to burn a candle for you
[Verse 6]
Yes, I wanna keep you
Warm, warm, warm, and I
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you
Lord, I cry
Yeah, Lord, whoa, sometimes I feel so
Whoa, whoa ah-ha, the light, light, light, light, light, light, light, lights
