[Intro]
And it sure been a cold, cold winter
And the wind ain’t been blowing from the south
It's sure been a cold, cold winter
And the light of love is all burned out

[Chorus]
It sure been a hard, hard winter

[Verse 1]
My feet been dragging across the ground
And I hope it's going to be a long, hot summer
And the light of love will be burning bright
And I wish I 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 around

[Chorus]
It sure been a cold, cold winter

[Verse 2]
My feet been dragging across 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 burning my bell, book and candle
And the restoration plays have all gone around
Sometimes I think about you, baby
Sometimes I cry about you
Sometimes I want to wrap my coat around you
Sometimes I want to keep you warm
Sometimes I want to wrap my coat around you
Sometimes I want to burn a candle for you

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
