River

River - 98°

Written 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 going to make a lot of money

Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene

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

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

She tried hard to help me

You know she put me at ease

And she loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

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

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

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

I wish I had a river

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

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

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
