River
Rita Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
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
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye
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
The song "River" by Rita Wilson is a cover of Joni Mitchell's classic song "River". The lyrics suggest a desire to escape from the commercialization of Christmas and find solace in nature. The opening lines describe the typical Christmas preparations, with people cutting down trees and putting up decorations. However, the singer wishes that she had a river to skate away on instead of being stuck in the bustling city. Unfortunately, it doesn't snow where she is and she is unable to find that escape.
Later in the song, the singer confesses her unhappiness and her failure to appreciate her partner's efforts to make her feel better. She acknowledges her toxic behavior and how it led to her losing the best partner she ever had. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's desire to escape her current situation by skating away on a river.
The song's themes of loneliness and longing make it a popular choice during the holiday season, as it speaks to the emotional turmoil that can accompany this time of year. The song is a poignant reminder that no matter how much joy and love is shared during the holiday season, many people still struggle with loneliness and unfulfilled desires.

The truthful lyrics of the song: born this way:
There is a problem about who we are, we live with sinful nature.
We all are called to REPENTANCE, to change our minds and our hearts.
We all are called back HOME, but PRIDE keeps us far.
So lets humble ourselves before GOD/CHRIST and lets answer to the calling.
We have sinned and felled short in the glory of GOD and without repenting we are at the wrong path.
How can we ask for love if there is none in us, we abuse ourselves and others daily.
How can we say we`re good if only do is sin, we telling lies, stealing lives, and destroying the light.
Yea we were born a sinner, lifelong sinful nature, but now we all are called to have new birth.
Don`t stay a sinner, become a new creature in Christ who promise to give you a warm heart.
Yea we were born sinners, but in Christ can we be brand new, without a sin of any kind.
Be you black or white, small or great, GOD through Christ calls all home.
Are we gonna answer or is our hearts grown cold? Our eyes and ears have we closed?
Are we all lost cases or is there still a chance that some of us shall be saved?
If we could change our lives, would we took the chance?
Or are we quick to say: “no, thanks, im good”?

Lyrics ~
I woke up with a fear this morning
But I can taste you on the tip of my tongue
Alarm without no warning
You're by my side and we've got smoke in our lungs
Last night we were way up, kissing in the back of the cab
And then you say love, baby, let's go back to my flat
And when we wake up, never had a feeling like that
I got a reason so man, put that record on again
I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
Don't want to sing mad songs anymore
Only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Yeah, you know your song's got me feeling like that
No fear, but I think I'm falling
I'm not proud
But I'm usually the type of girl that would hit and run
No risk, so I think I'm all in
When I kiss your lips, through my heartbeat thump
And now we're way up, dancing on the roof of the house
And then we make love, right there on your best friend's couch
And then you say, love, this is what is all about
So keep on kissing my mouth and put that record on again
I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
Don't want to sing mad songs anymore
Only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Yeah, you know your song's got me feeling like I'm
I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
I don't want to sing mad songs anymore
I only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm
I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
Don't want to sing mad songs anymore
Only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm (Got me feeling like I'm)
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love (I'm in love)
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love (I'm)
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love (I'm in love)
Yeah, you know your song's got me feeling like that
