River

作詞：Joni Mitchell     作曲：Joni Mitchell

Comin' 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
It don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lotta money
Then 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 would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
They tried hard to help me
You know it put me at ease
It left me so naughty
Made me weak in my knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
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
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
Its coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
