River

River - James Taylor

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

But it don't snow here

It stays pretty green

You want to make a lot of money

Speed this crazy scene

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

Oh I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to

Fly weeeai yeah

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish and I'm sad

And the thing lost the only best baby

That I ever had

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

He tried hard to help me

Try to put me at ease

And he loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

Oh I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to

Fly weeeei yeah

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

And I made my baby say goodbye

And I

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I could skate away on

I could skate away on
