River

River - Jessica Vosk

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

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Now it don't snow here

It stays pretty green

I'm gonna make a lot of money

And 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

You tried hard to help me

And you put me at ease

And he loved me so naughty

And made me weak in the knees

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish and I'm sad

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

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 and singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
