  • He's gone two thousand miles
    Is very far
    The snow is falling down
    Gets colder day by day
    I miss you

    The children were singing
    He'll be back at Christmas time

    In these frozen and silent nights
    Sometimes in a dream, you appear
    Outside under the purple sky
    Diamonds in the snow sparkle

    Our hearts were singing
    It felt like Christmastime

    Two thousand miles
    Is very far through the snow
    I'll think of you
    Wherever you go

    He's gone two thousand miles
    Is very far
    The snow is falling down
    Gets colder day by day
    I miss you

    I can hear people singing
    It must be Christmastime
    I hear people singing
    It must be Christmastime Writer/s: Chrissie Hynde
