Tracey Thorn - River

 

It's coming on christmas,
And they're cutting down trees.
Putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace,
Oh, i wish i had a river i could skate away on.

It don't snow here,
Stays pretty green.
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And 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 how to fly.
Oh, i wish i had a river i could skate away on.
I made my baby cry.

You tried hard to help me,
You put me at ease.
You loved me so naughty,
It 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 how 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
And they're cutting down trees.
Putting up reindeer,
And singing songs of joy and peace.
I wish i had a river i could skate away on.
