It's coming on christmas; They're cutting down trees, Putting up reindeer, And singing songs of joy and peace. I wish I had a river, I could skate away on.
But it don't snow here; It stays pretty green. Gonna make a lot of money, Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene. And 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. I wish I had a river, I could skate away on. I made my baby cry.
Tried hard to help me, And you put me at ease. Loved me so naughty, Made me weaking in the knees. [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/river-lyrics-aimee-mann.html ] I wish I had a river, I could skate away on.
I'm so hard to handle; I'm selfish and I'm sad. I've gone and lost the best baby, I 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 to fly. 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, And singing songs of joy and peace. I wish I had a river, I could skate away on.
