Joni Mitchell - River 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 going to make a lot of money Then i\'m going to 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 He tried hard to help me You know' he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in 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 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 I wish i had a river I could skate away on
