Audrey Assad - River Lyrics

Audrey Assad Lyrics

"River"
(originally by Joni Mitchell)

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
You know it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh I wish I had a river so long
That I could teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Ooh I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
He made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
You know I'm selfish and I'm sad
I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
That I could teach my feet to fly
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
Singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
