River

It's 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 But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money And 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 high 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 But 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 high Oh I wish I had a river That 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 Singing songs of joy and peace Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on --- River - Sarah McLachlan
