River Rachael Yamagata 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 gonna make a lot of money And 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 could teach my feet to fly Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry... You tried hard to help me Always put me at ease You loved me so naughty, baby Made me weak in the knees Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on And i'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and i'm sad And i've gone and lost the best baby That i have ever had Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on I wish i had a river so long I could teach my feet to fly Oh 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 Oh i wish i had a river I could skate away on
