Coming on Christmas, they're cuttin' down trees...



I like this card I recieved from a cousin and it reminded me of this song.

"RIVER"

This is a Joni Mitchell song performed by Sarah McLachlan so wonderfully well on her Christmas album, 'Wintersong.'

(view it on YouTube)


~~~Some of the lyrics~~


River

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
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
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry~~~


~~~Sad~~~

  4. Pea,

    I didn't know that song either-but it's such a pretty, but sad, song! Sarah does it so well!!

    I have become a big Sarah McLachlan fan in the past 2-3- years!

  6. Joy,

    Isn't Sarah just sooo special!!

    I always enjoy her music- especially this Christmas CD.

    "River' is a sad song for sure- but life isn't always happy-and Sarah puts SO much feeling in this song... it's impossible NOT to be able to relate to the words and the way she sings this song!

    BTW
    I hope your problems in your house are getting resolved!

    Love,
    Junie
