Matt Nathanson - River 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
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lotta 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'd teach my feet to fly
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
She tried hard to help me
You know, she put me at ease
She loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Well, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
You know, I'm selfish and I'm sad
And I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I'd 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
They're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Well, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Any plans for a full holiday album?
man, you don't always act like strong. It is okay to cry.
I love your music, this one is happy but blue christmas 💕
Beautiful Matt. I love this song, first knew it by Robert Downey Jr on Ally McBeal. One of my Christmas favourites
Your voice is pure perfection on this song. Thank you for always going above and beyond on your Christmas songs.
One of my all time favorites artists. I love this track. Thank you. 💙
Wonderful. Simply wonderful.
Matt, thank you for releasing a Christmas album. 💙 Can't wait to drive listening to this in the winter season
Your voice is pure magic! I’ve been listening to your latest album nonstop these past couple months, not sure why I suddenly remembered I love it so much... you need to have a concert in SF in the city, I’m never able to make it because they’re always so far out :(
