Indigo Girls - River lyrics

It's coming on christmas<br>They're cutting down trees<br>Putting up reindeer<br>And singing songs of joy and peace<br>I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on<br><br>But it don't snow here<br>It stays pretty green<br>Gonna make a lot of money<br>Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene<br>And I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on<br><br>I wish I had a river so wide<br>I would teach my feet to fly<br>I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on<br>'cause I made my baby cry<br><br>You tried hard to help me<br>And you put me at ease<br>Then loved me so naughty<br>Made me weak in my knees<br>And wish I had a river<br>That I could skate away on<br><br>I'm so hard to handle<br>I'm selfish and I'm sad<br>Now I lost the best baby<br>That I ever had<br>And I wish I had a river<br>That I could skate away on<br><br>I wish I had a river so wide<br>I could teach my feet to fly<br>I wish I had a river<br>That I could skate away on<br>Cause I made my baby say goodbye<br><br>It's coming on christmas<br>They're cutting down trees<br>Putting up reindeer<br>And singing songs of joy and peace<br>But I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on<br><br>God I wish I had a river so wide<br>I'd teach my feet to fly<br>I wish I had a river<br>I could skate away on<br>I made my baby say goodbye
