River
NASHVILLE CAST · Christmas With Nashville 2014 · Track 06 of 12
Written 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, Stays pretty green. I'm gonna make a lot of money Gonna 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. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. I made my baby cry.
She tried hard to help me, She put me at ease. 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've ever had. 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. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. I made my baby say goodbye. 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 on.
