Rachael Yamagata - River Lyrics




It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer and 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 and 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 could teach my feet to fly

Oh
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

You tried hard to help me
Always put me at ease
You loved me so naughty baby
Made me weak in the knees

Oh
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

And I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
And I've gone and lost the best baby that I have ever had

Oh
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long I could teach my feet to fly

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 trees
They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace

Oh
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
