Lyrics Emily Hackett – River (Acoustic)

It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace

But it don’t snow here
Stays pretty green
I’m gonna make a lot of money
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

She tried hard to help me
She put me at ease
She 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’ve 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
Say goodbye

It’s coming on Christmas
