River - Hayley Westenra (海莉·薇思特拉)

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 don't snow here

It stays pretty green

I'm going to make a lot of money

Then i'm going to 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 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 coming on christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish i had a river

I could skate away on
