Winter, lyric by Rolling Stones, The

from the songs album Goat's Head Soup

(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 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
