Brandi Carlile - River Lyrics

Brandi Carlile Lyrics

"River"

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer
And 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
Gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy, crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

God, I wish I had a river so wide
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 loved me so naughty, and
Made me weak in the knees
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 lost the best baby
That I ever ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

God, 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
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

Ooh
Ooh
