Joni Mitchell River Lyrics

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.
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 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.

Oh, 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 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.
