Rachael Yamagata - The river lyrics

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 And I'm 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 could teach my feet to fly Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry... You tried hard to help me Always put me at ease You loved me so naughty, baby Made me weak in the knees Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on And I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad And I've gone and lost the best baby That I have ever had Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I could 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 Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
