"River" lyrics

"River"
(originally by Joni Mitchell)

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

It don't snow here
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

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 cry

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