River lyrics - Charlotte Church

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 won't snow here

It'll stay 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

No, 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 upset

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

Oh, I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas

He cutting down trees

He putting up reindeer 

And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

Away, away
