Pretenders, The - 2000 Miles Lyrics






He's gone 2000 miles
It's very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you

The children will sing
He'll be back at Christmastime

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

2000 miles
Is very far through the snow
I'll think of you
Wherever you go

He's gone 2000 miles
It's 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

  1. S.... W....

    January 1st 2020 anybody ??

  2. C.... H....

    Such a beautiful Xmas song.
    And the meaning behind it makes even more poignant, what with them losing their bandmate then writing the song about him.
    Adore Chrissy Hinde, this is the best Chrimbo song ever in my opinion!

  3. S.... P....

    Description; platitnum? Lol

  4. K.... D....

    Kind of odd she has a reputation as a hard, hip rocker, then she does a song and accompanying video like this!

  5. t.... s....

    My favourite Xmas song..

  6. C.... ....

    Was there some competition between her, Vanessa Carlton and the Proclaimers to see who would travel the furthest?

  7. J.... H....

    Great song & great video. Merry Christmas 2019.

  8. J.... ....

    That Green Screen tho ahhh 80’s man we’re technology was brand new would love to live in the time line seems like a gem and I was born in the 90’s

  9. B.... Z....

    My absolute favorite Christmas song♥️💚♥️💚But hurts my heart

  10. N.... V....

    God bless us, everyone !

  11. C.... L....

    Best Christmas Song Ever

  12. R.... L....

    One of the most amazing voices of our generation. Her perfect pitch and take no prisoners attitude is an Icon, a tough broad with a heart of gold. Oh how we love her.

  13. J.... F....

    An instant classic the minute I heard it. I think of this song every holiday season!

  14. D.... D....

    Karen O's unofficial mom.

  15. D.... S....

  30. N.... ....

    I forgot all about this song until watching the movie Cold Pursuit!!

  31. J.... M....

    Im flying home to LA from Memphis on Xmas Eve....Nearly 2K miles...lol

  32. G.... V....

    Angelic voice. This song reminds me of a snow globe. You know, the kind you shake up and watch settle down. Best Christmas song ever.

  33. S.... P....

    I think Chrissie Hynde lives in London and spends most of her time now campaigning on animal rights issues. Either way, she sang the greatest Christmas track ever - I'd walk 2000 miles to hear it.

  34. J.... M....

    Faourite xmas song

  35. g.... ....

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

    The children will sing
    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 Christmas time

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

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

    I can hear people singing
    It must be Christmas time
    I hear people singing

    It must be Christmas time...

    B.... B....

    And she sings. It must be Christmas time. What else would you like?

    B.... B....

    @Our travelingzoo it's a Xmas song. Even if they don't make references to Christmas

    B.... B....

    B.... B....

    Back Bay Man52 Ir says Christmas time but pop off I guess

    B.... B....

    Fun with Cupcakes very sorry wrong person

  60. J.... M....

    My job brought me here 😂😂😂

  61. c.... m....

    poignant and beautiful

  62. j.... ....

    Am sure I may have commented on this B4? But whatever, it's just The best ever Crimbo song ever! Chrisy,s Vocal,s touch the 💓 heart, and she is beautiful.Such a sad abrupt ending when she appears to freeze.

  63. A.... T....

    Its NOT a stupid Christmas song...it was written for a band member who died.!

    A.... T....

    Somebody died in the band???

  64. f.... ....

    Classic Christmas song from my youth, love it!

  65. t.... ....

    the fade in of the jangly guitars at the beginning reminds me of radiohead's 'black star'.

    t.... ....

    Sounds to me like theyre using a chorus effect. Which gives that *jangling* sound you are hearing. Its a very nice guitar effect that creats a reallly nice rich shimmering sound. Personally my favourite effect for music in general

  66. C.... S....

    Lovely song,my favourite Christmas song on the planet.

  67. p.... ....

    should get more radio play

  68. P.... C....

    heartland

  77. R.... J....

    Brilliant! The complete package as only Chrissy can pull it off.

  78. B.... W....

    Thought this was a 90s song because of how it sounds... before its time

  79. Z.... B....

    December 2019

  80. L.... T....

    I wish there was a 1 hour version of this song. Beautiful song 😊

    L.... T....

    displaced for christmas. shunned by my sister, no other members alive. one year divorced tonight. im glad for all. but i miss so many people.

  81. m.... o....

    Best Christmas song ever.

  82. A.... D....

    visually speaking, that's probably the second-weirdest music video I've ever seen. (total eclipse of the heart)

  83. M.... �....

    This song was released in Europe under the title '3219 kilometres'.

    M.... �....

    @Big Gus we use miles in Britain too you know

    M.... �....

    Camillo Conte same

    M.... �....

    Goodman Máirt, maith an buachaill. Gave me a good laugh here on Christmas morning 😁

    M.... �....

    Top Christmas banter

  84. J.... R....

    "John Elway or Peyton Manning?"

  85. a.... t....

    Its amazing how Christmas songs from 20 to 40 years are still so popular and yet how recent christmas songs from the past 10 years have been forgotten, it goes to show that when artist's could sing and wright songs they were really origional.

  86. r.... ....

    This song sucks so much cock. So annoying on the radio

  87. J.... L....

    My baby jo

  88. B.... W....

    I’m listening to this now😄👍

  89. J.... ....

    I kno it looks fake but she really does spend her off time collecting for the needy !! No she does !! Really

  90. w.... g....

    A song I'd forgotten about for 36 years, then I heard it on the radio the other day. I am constantly singing it. Perfect and evocative.
    The song I mean....not my singing.

  91. M.... F....

    I feel emotional
    BOO HOO

  92. s.... b....

    Although it makes reference to Christmas, and can be celebrated as a Christmas song, it is in fact a song for James Honeyman-Scott, the lead guitarist for the Pretenders, who died a year before the song was released.

    s.... b....

    i heard it today on the radio and immediately thought of my son Nate .... gone 21 years .... I miss him so

    s.... b....

    Tess Smale I’m sorry for your loss ❤️

    s.... b....

    Wow. It's a tear jerker, that's for sure.

    s.... b....

    @Chris Are you trolling? This song is beautiful.

    s.... b....

    spot on a well picked up unkown FACT

  93. M.... F....

    I love this, Chrissie Hynde looks so winsome in the Salvation Army uniform and where the image freezes at the end it’s like a clockwork toy stopping, but sad as well.

    M.... F....

    Agreed 100%.

    M.... F....

    winsome

    attractive or appealing in a fresh, innocent way.

    "a winsome smile"

    Thanks for teaching me a new word!

  94. H.... N....

    I'ts between you and me right? sure!

  95. X.... s....

    Chrissey has such a haunting yet alluring and unique vocals and really beautiful eyes too. Best chrimbo song ever🥰

  96. M.... B....

    Never seen the video before.

  97. D.... k....

    Chryssie ( a very beautiful, exciting woman. ) looks like crap in this video. Dosen't this ass-hole know how to direct a gottdamned video ???!! Evidently, not.
