River Songtext
von Billy Squier

It′s coming on twilight
And all the world's at ease
They′re pulling down the curtains
Sailing off to sweet release
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But me, I'm not so quiet
I'm restless and I′m mean
I′ll let you know I'm bleeding
And I′m crawling on my knees
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

Try not to help her
Let her do as she pleased
And I loved her so naughty
I made her weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on


We're so hard to handle
We′re selfish and we're sad
We throw away those precious things we worked so hard to have
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so deep
I would swim away from time
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Do we have to say goodbye?

It′s coming on daybreak
Everyone's at peace
They're dreaming ′bout deliverance
From the wounds that will not cease
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But me, I′m not so lucky
I'm anxious and I′m lean
I made a ton of money
But I can't buy out this 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
Do I have to say goodbye?
