Tracey Thorn - River lyrics

rate me

It's coming on Christmas,

And they're cutting down trees.

I'm 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,

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 how to fly.

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've ever had.

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

I wish I had a river so long,

I would teach my feet how to fly.

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.

And putting up reindeer,

And singing songs of joy and peace.

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