Angus And Julia Stone - River Lyrics

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
You know, 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'd teach my feet to fly
Cause' I made my baby cry
I made her say goodbye

She tried hard to help me
You know, she put me at ease
And she loved me all 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've ever had
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
Cause' I made my baby cry
I made her say goodbye
I made her say goodbye
