River

River - Ron Pope

Lyrics by：Joni Mitchell

Composed by：Joni Mitchell

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

I'm gonna make a lot of money

Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me you know he 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

But I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad

Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas they're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
