I see snow falling out side my window and I think
'Oh what a beauty but I wish it will end'
For as fascinating as they may be
To a girl from the tropical rainforest
Where the only thing that falls from the sky
Is rain thundering down the earth
Like tears from a hungry baby
Calling out for attention
This thing they call winter
Is no safe place to be

For no amount of hot chocolate
Can replace the shining sun
That is always ever present
But I never saw back home
Because although I can't see the cold
I can feel it at the tip of my toes
Or rather I can't feel them at all
Even wrapped around thick wollen socks
That cost too much for a pair

But now I know how its like
To have nights that refuse to leave
That steals away the day
And numbs the colour out of life

Now I know how it is
That building a man out of snow
And drawing an angel on the ground
And sleighing down on cheap childish slides
With the icy air piercing against my face
Makes me wonder 'how did I not have this in my childhood?'

Now I know how it is
That I'm just a girl from the tropics
And the leafy greens breathe life
And that the hot and sweaty air
Weighs you down and never leaves
But I'd rather that than five layers of jackets 
And still feeling the chill to my bones

So bring me back to the land
Where sun and rain don't need seasons
But come and go as they wish
And the nights appear and leave
Just like the trains out of Waverley
On time and precise, never early never late
Because they too get tired of the dark
