River

River - Alex Vargas

Lyrics by：Joni Mitchell

Composed by：Joni Mitchell

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer

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

Gonna leave this crazy scene

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

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

You tried hard to help me

You know you put me at ease

And you 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

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

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

Putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away away away away
