River (Live) - Judy Collins/Jonas Fjeld/Chatham County Line/Joni Mitchell
Composed by:Joni Mitchell
It's coming on Christmas they're cutting down trees
They're 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 it stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
I'm going to 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
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 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
Well 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
