River

River - Sarah McLachlan Lyrics

It's comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer
Singin' songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away onBut it doesn't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And then 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
Teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cryHe 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 onWell 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
Oh, 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 goodbyeIt's comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer
And singin' songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
