River

Hayley Westenra - River

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 wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

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 so weak in the knees

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 made my baby say goodbye
