about

A reflective song about spending Christmas in a different hemisphere from the one you grew up in as a kid.

lyrics

I can smell the pine needles on the forest floor
On a hillside in England where I don't live any more
I've chosen Australia and I always get homesick at Christmas
'Cause there's something quite magic about this time of year
That you learn as a child and it never quite disappears
I love Australia but I always get homesick at Christmas

I'm dreaming of the snow, covering the ground
Everywhere I go, muffle the sound
Turn everything to white, make it all look bright
Even at night it's Christmas time

I can feel the logs burning on an open fire
I'm warming my hands but the season says I'm a liar
It's summer in Australia and I always get homesick at Christmas
'Cause you don't need a fire when it's 40 degrees
You drive to the beach and you run right into the sea
I love Australia but I always get homesick at Christmas

I'm dreaming of the snow, covering the ground
Everywhere I go, muffle the sound
Turn everything to white, make it all look bright
Even at night it's Christmas time

Give me candles and sleigh bells and cold frosty mornings
toboggans and robins bob bobbin' along

I'm dreaming of the snow, covering the ground
Everywhere I go, muffle the sound
Turn everything to white, make it all look bright
Even at night...
I'm dreaming of the snow, covering the ground
Everywhere I go, muffle the sound
Turn everything to white, make it all look bright
Even at night it's Christmas time
It's Christmas time, it's Christmas time
