River Songtext
von Sissel

It′s coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They′re putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
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
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 babe cry
He tries hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty


Made me weak in the knees
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
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
Singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
