River

Words and Music: Joni Mitchell

It's coming on Christmas they're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
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 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 wide
Teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river to skate away on

'Cause I made my baby cry

You tried hard to help me and you put me at ease
Then loved me so naughty made me week in my knees
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 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 wide
Teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

'Cause I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas they're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

God I wish I had a river so wide
Teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
