James Taylor - The river commentary lyrics

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees Putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river, I could skate away on Ya, but it don't snow here, it stays pretty green You want to make a lot of money and split this crazy scene I wish I had a river and I could skate away on Oh, I wish I had a river so high I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah 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 And I think, your's the only best baby that I ever had Oh, I wish I had a river, I could skate away on She tried hard to help me, tried to put me at ease She loved me so naughty, made me weak in my knees Ya, I wish I had a river, I could skate away on Oh, I wish I had a river so high I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah I wish I had a river, I could skate away on And I made baby cry, and I made my baby say goodbye And I wish I had a river, I could skate away on I could skate away on, I could skate away on
