River (Recorded At RAK Studios, London)

It's comin' on Christmas

They're cuttin' down trees

They're puttin' up reindeer

Singin' songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

But it doesn't snow here

It stays pretty green

I'm gonna make a lot of money

And then I'm gonna 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

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 say goodbye

It's comin' on Christmas

They're cuttin' down trees

They're puttin' up reindeer

And singin' songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on
