WINTER Lyrics

Artist: The Rolling Stones (Buy The Rolling Stones CDs)
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

A really nice melody for this melancholic lyric about what could have been and wasn't. Too much sadness and desperation for being so young. Young and without money , young and without guessing which is the right path... young and desperated...
The early Rolling Stones...

thanks for putting the lyrics to this cool and as the pevious reviewer stated, melancholic, song. A bit of a 'heroin' vibe on this i'm afraid.
