I've Been Everywhere In The World Where They Don't Have Christmas

The Spring is sprung with its gentle breeze
And Summer sun, easy to please
But when Autumn leaves start to burn
To the bottle I return
And when my winter heart, hears the song,
That you used to sing well then I'm gone...
I've been everywhere in the world where they don't have Christmas
To make believe that it's not true
I've been everywhere in the world where they don't have Christmas
To hide from the fact that I don't have you
Bare feet on warm white sand
But somehow I feel an icy hand
In the backstreets of St Petersburg
The wind it whistles and it's you I've heard
Kyoto to Kathmandu but it's me who is
The ghost that's haunting you
I've been everywhere in the world where they don't have Christmas
To make believe that I'm not alone
I've been everywhere in the world where they don't have Christmas
But there's no place left to hide and I'm coming home
And the snow it falls on the ground in which you lie
And I stand and I cry
I think of your lips berry red
And the gentle loving words you'd said
And it's there I lay my grief
And my love is my belief
Well I've been everywhere in the world where they don't have Christmas
To kid myself that I've not gone wrong
Well I've been everywhere in the world where they don't have Christmas
But to you now I give this Christmas song.

it's a refran you could play
it's a refran you could play again and again, a wistful tone, but that's not a moan.

The repeated lines, I guess,
The repeated lines, I guess, are like the jolts of remembered loss as the distractions wear off.
