River Songtext
von Emilie‐Claire Barlow

It′s coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
So 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 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
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry


He tried hard to help me, he put me at ease
He loved me so naughty, made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I′m so hard to handle, I′m selfish, and I'm sad
I 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
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long I could teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river so long, teach my feet to fly (I would fly)
I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river so long, teach my feet to fly (I would fly)
I wish I had a river so long, teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river so long, teach my feet to fly
