River - Recorded At RAK Studios, London Songtext
von Sam Smith

It′s coming on Christmas
They're cutting down the 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
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
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

I′m so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I′m sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I′ve ever had
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
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 the 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
