Recorded in one take for Christmas 2019 - a cover of Joni Mitchell's River :)

lyrics

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down 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.

But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green.
I'm going to make a lot of money, then 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.

He tried hard to help me, you know, he put me at ease. And he loved me so naughty, 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.
Now 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.

It's coming on Christmas . . .
