River


Joni Mitchell


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
gonna make a lot of money and
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
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

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
