Текст Jamie Cullum – River

It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace

But it don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m gonna make a lot of money
And quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach myself fly
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
Make me weak at the knees
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

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach myself to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
