about

River is my favourite Joni Mitchell song. I think because it appeals to my gypsy spirit of endlessly wanting to move on... keep traveling... this beautiful river to skate away on or disappear into.
Sadie

lyrics

It’s comin’ on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're puttin’ 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 gonna make a lot of money
And I’m gonna quit this crazy scene

I wish i had a river
I could skate away on

Oh and I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh and I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

He tried hard to help me you know
He put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
He made me weak in the knees

I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I’m so hard to handle
You know I’m selfish and I’m sad
Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby
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 my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
