River Songtext
von Nick Knowles

It′s coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
And 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
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

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
′Cause I made my baby cry


She tried hard to help me
She put me at ease
Loved me so naughty
Made me weak at 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 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
′Cause I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They′re cutting down trees
And putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
