Lyric River

It s comin on twilight, and all the world s at ease
They re pullin down the curtains, sailin off to sweet release
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But me I m not so quiet, I m restless and I m mean
I won t let you know I m bleedin , that I m crawlin on my knees
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

I tried hard to help her, let her do as she pleased
And I loved her so naughty, made her weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
We re so hard to handle, we re selfish and we re sad
And we throw away those precious things we work so hard to have
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so deep I would swim away from time
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Do we have to say goodbye

It s comin on daybreak, and everyone s at peace
They re dreamin bout deliverance from the wounds that will not cease
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But me I m not so lucky, I m anxious and I m lean
I ve made a tone of money but I can t buy out this 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 skate away on
I have to say goodbye
