	Story Behind the Song Joni Mitchell's "Blue" CD has always been a huge favorite - when I was deciding on tunes to record on my CD, I knew I wanted to do "River" as it's just one of the most poignant love songs ever written. Mark Massey came up with a gorgeous reharmonization that enhances Joni's lyrics. Lyrics 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 gonna make a lot of money Then I'm gonna 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 made my baby cry He tried hard to help me He put me at ease 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 I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've lost the best baby That I've 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 made my baby say goodbye
