River - Sixpence None The Richer (琅当六便士)

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 It stays pretty green

I'm going to make a lot of money

Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene

Oh 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

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me You know

He put me at ease

And he loved me so 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 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

I 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
