River — текст песни (Vonda Shepard)

Written by joni mitchell



Its coming on christmas

Theyre cutting down trees

Theyre putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

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

But it dont snow here

It stays pretty green

Im going to make a lot of money

Then Im going to quit this crazy scene

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on



Oh I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

Oh I wish I had a river

I made my baby cry.



He tried hard to help me

He put me at ease

Lord, he loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Im so hard to handle

Im selfish and Im sad

Now Ive gone and lost the best baby

That I ever had

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on



Oh I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

Oh I wish I had a river

I made my baby say goodbye



Its coming on christmas

Theyre cutting down trees

Theyre putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on.
