    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
