WINTER
(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, 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
All right, well, well, well

Sometimes I think about ya baby, oh well
Oh, sometimes I cry about ya, lord
Well, well, well, well, well

Yeah and I'll wrap my coat around you, woman
Yeah and I'll wrap my coat around you, woman
Oh lord I'm talkin'

Yes, I'll wrap my coat around
Well, well, well,
Baby sometimes I wanna, keep you woman
Baby sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around ya
Sometimes I wanna burn a candle for ya
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around ya lord
Sometimes I wanna burn a candle for ya
Yes I wanna keep ya, wa wa wa
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around ya lord I'm crying
Sometimes it feels like...
