And it sure has been a cold winter And the wind it ain't blowing from the south And it sure has been a cold cold winter And the light of love is all burned out
And it sure has been a hard hard winter And 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 burning bright And I wish I'd been out in California When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out But I been burning my bell book and candle And the restoration plays have all gone round
And it sure has been a cold cold winter My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground and the fields has all been brown and barren And the springtime takes the long way around And I wish I'd been out in Stony Canyon When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out But I been burning my bell book and candle And the restoration plays have all gone round
Oh Lord well well well Sometimes I think about you baby Sometimes I cry about you Lord yeah And I'll wrap my coat around you baby Sometimes I wanna keep you warm baby sometimes I wanna burn a candle for you
