Lyrics:

(Joni Mitchell)
(Duet With K.d. Lang)

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
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

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
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
