I WISH I HAD A RIVER...

It's coming on Christmas 

They're cutting down trees 

They're putting up reindeer 

And singing songs of joy and peace 

Oh 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 

Oh I wish I had a river 

I could skate away on 

I made my baby cry

~

Joni Mitchell
