[ti:river]
[ar:joni mitchell]
[00:19.300] It's coming on Christmas
[00:21.617] They're cutting down trees
[00:23.803] They're putting up reindeer
[00:25.761] And singing songs of joy and peace
[00:28.983] I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[00:37.987] Now it don't snow here
[00:40.457] It stays pretty green
[00:42.143] I'm gonna make a lotta money
[00:44.131] And I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
[00:47.671] I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[00:55.957] I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly
[01:09.465] Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[01:19.04] I made my baby cry
[01:35.295] She tried hard to help me
[01:37.336] She put me at ease
[01:39.551] And she loved me so naughty
[01:41.513] She made me weak in the knees
[01:43.819] I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[01:54.360] I'm so hard to handle
[01:56.131] I'm selfish I'm sad
[01:57.194] And I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
[02:02.770] I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[02:12.225] Mmm I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly
[02:29.393] Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[02:39.540] I made my baby say goodbye
[02:55.199] It's coming on Christmas
[02:57.478] They're cutting down trees
[02:59.826] They're putting up reindeer
[03:01.818] And singing songs of joy and peace
[03:04.781] I wish I had a river I could skate away on
