Aimee Mann River Lyrics

River Lyrics

It's coming on christmas;

They're cutting down trees,

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.

Gonna make a lot of money,

Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene.

And 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.

I wish I had a river,

I could skate away on.

I made my baby cry.



Tried hard to help me,

And you put me at ease.

Loved me so naughty,

Made me weaking in the knees.

I wish I had a river,

I could skate away on.



I'm so hard to handle;

I'm selfish and I'm sad.

I've gone and lost the best baby,

I 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.

Wish I had a river,

I could skate away on.

I made my baby say, "Goodbye."



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.
