Текст песни River - 2008/Live At Yahoo! - Joni Mitchell , Herbie Hancock

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 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
Oh, 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
Oh, I didn't mean to make him cry
He tried hard to help me
He put me at ease
Oh, and he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
'Cause I'm so hard to handle
Oh, I get selfish and I'm sad sometimes
Now I gone and 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
I made my baby say goodbye, goodbye
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
Away on
