River" Lyrics - K. D. Lang

River" 

(feat. K.D. Lang) 

It's coming on Christmas 

They're cutting down trees 

They're putting up reindeer 

And 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 baby cry 

He tried 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 

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

Oh 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 

I wish I had a river 

I could skate away on
