river

Rachael Yamagata

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
