from the songs album A Very Ally Christmas
Written by joni mitchell
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
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
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
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
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.
