I've had my fill of Christmas cheer
Send me somewhere far from here
(Far) From the shoppers in their droves
Doing battle in the street
From the air so sickly sweet
Full of cinnamon and cloves
(Far) From the sentiment and slush
Take me somewhere cold and clear
Somewhere easy on the ear
Frozen in a winter's hush

If I close my eyes tight
Will I wake to a world wrapped in white?
Where the shouts and scuffles are muffled
By a blanket of new-fallen snow
Let it fall and let me go

(Far) From the twenty festive hits
Played each day a thousand times
From the jingle bells and chimes
Decking all the halls with glitz
(Far) From the flashing fairy lights
Bleeping electronic toys
Nothing white except the noise
Of the never-silent nights

If I close my eyes tight
Will I wake to a world wrapped in white?
Where the shouts and scuffles are muffled
By a blanket of new-fallen snow
Let it fall and let me go
Let it fall and let me go
Let it fall, let me go
Let it fall, let me go
Let it fall and let me go
