Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 And I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Chorus] I wish I had a river so wide I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on 'Cause I made my baby cry [Verse 3] He tried hard to help me You know, put me at ease Then loved me so naughty Made me weak in my knees I wish I had a river that I could skate away on [Verse 4] But I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I lost the best baby That I ever had And I wish I had a river that I could skate away on [Chorus] I wish I had a river so wide I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river that I could skate away on 'Cause I made my baby say goodbye [Verse 1] It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees Putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace But I wish I had a river that I could skate away on [Chorus] God, I wish I had a river so wide I would teach my feet to fly Wish I had a river that I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye [Outro] Thank you. Joni Mitchell. Thanks.
