Текст песни River - Michael Ball

It's comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer
And singin' songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But it don't snow here, stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna 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

She tried hard to help me
You know
She put me at ease
And she loved me so naughty
Made me weak in 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 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 goodbye

It's comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' my reindeer
And singin' songs of joy amd peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
