I wish I had a river

I love this song...
  Its 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 Ive 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 
Its 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 

Joni Mitchell, you are awesome.
