River

Joni Mitchell - River

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 going to make a lot of money

Then 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

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 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

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish i had a river

I could skate away on
