JONI MITCHELL - River lyrics

rate me

It's coming on christmas<br>They're cutting down trees<br>They're putting up reindeer<br>And singing songs of joy and peace<br>Oh I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on<br>But it don't snow here<br>It stays pretty green<br>I'm going to make a lot of money<br>Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene<br>I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on<br>I wish I had a river so long<br>I would teach my feet to fly<br>Oh I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on<br>I made my baby cry<br><br>He tried hard to help me<br>You know, he put me at ease<br>And he loved me so naughty<br>Made me weak in the knees<br>Oh I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on<br>I'm so hard to handle<br>I'm selfish and I'm sad<br>Now I've gone and lost the best baby<br>That I ever had<br>Oh I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on<br>I wish I had a river so long<br>I would teach my feet to fly<br>Oh I wish I had a river<br>I made my baby say goodbye<br><br>It's coming on christmas<br>They're cutting down trees<br>They're putting up reindeer<br>And singing songs of joy and peace<br>I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on
