Ward Thomas - River Lyrics

Ward Thomas Lyrics

"River"
(originally by Joni Mitchell)

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

But 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
Oh, 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 high
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
He put me at ease
He loved me so naughty
He made me weak at the knees
Oh, 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 gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh, 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 high
Oh, 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 Christmas
They're putting up reindeers
Singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
