River - Ron Pope
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
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
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 to fly
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me you know he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But 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
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 singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
