River Songtext
von James Taylor

It′s comin' on Christmas
They′re cuttin' down trees
They're puttin′ up reindeer
Singin′ songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Yeah, but it don't snow here
Stays pretty green
You wanna make a lot of money
Split this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so high
I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah
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
And I think, your's the only best, baby
That I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on

She tried hard to help me
Tried to put me at ease
She loved me so naughty
Made me weak in my knees
Yeah, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so high
I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

And I made my baby cry
And I made my baby say goodbye
And I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I could skate away on
I could skate away on
