River Songtext
von Sarah McLachlan

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

But it doesn'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
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

Well 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
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It's comin′ on Christmas
They′re cuttin' down trees
They′re puttin' up reindeers
And singin′ songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
