River - Ellie Goulding

Lyrics by：Joni Mitchell

Composed by：Joni Mitchell

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 gonna 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 so 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

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

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
