River from Shadows by O'Hooley & Tidow

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down the 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

It don't snow here
You know, it stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
I'm going to quit this crazy scene
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
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

She tried hard to help me
She put me at ease
She loved me so naughty
It 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
I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, 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 say goodbye
