River Lyrics - 1200 Curfews - Indigo Girls

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 wide 

I would teach my feet to fly 

I wish I had a river 

I could skate away on 

'cause I made my baby cry 

You tried hard to help me 

And you put me at ease 

Then loved me so naughty 

Made me weak in my knees 

And wish I had a river 

That I could skate away on 

I'm so hard to handle 

I'm selfish and i'm sad 

Now I lost the best baby 

That I ever had 

And I wish I had a river 

That I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so wide 

I could teach my feet to fly 

I wish I had a river 

That I could skate away on 

Cause I made my baby say goodbye 

It's coming on Christmas 

They're cutting down trees 

Putting up reindeer 

And singing songs of joy and peace 

But I wish I had a river 

I could skate away on 

God I wish I had a river so wide 

I'd teach my feet to fly 

I wish I had a river 

I could skate away on 

I made my baby say goodbye
