River Songtext
von Tom Chaplin

It′s coming on Christmas
They're cutting down 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
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
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
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry


She tried hard to help me
You know, she put me at ease
And she 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 ever had
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
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 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
I could skate away on
