A Joni Mitchell cover.


Liryc:

Its coming on christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it dont snow here
It stays pretty green
Im going to make a lot of money
Then Im 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
Im so hard to handle
Im selfish and Im sad
Now Ive 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 could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

Its coming on christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

  • Let me rephrase - is this really Robert Downey Jr? Whoever - it's great. Nice rough mix - I like how organic is manages to be even with all the schmutz and strings.

  • @Maralo1 Yeah, it's really him. He has an album too, it's not bad, It became one of my favourite after I heard it a few times. And he sings in the movie The Singing Detective too. And in Ally McBeal ofc. This song is from Ally too.

  • I. Might. Die. CAN I LIKE JUST STEAL THIS GUYS LIFE?!?!?!?! HES LIVING ALL MY DREAMS! And might I add he is good at every single one?!

  • @fruttitu Call me ;)

  • This is the saddest X-mas song I've ever heard... it made me cry, and more because I kept thinking that in the time Robert sang this maybe he was hurting by what was happening in his life at that time... I don't know maybe not but I kinda hear it in his voice... I may sound crazy but I do

  • @Maralo1 Look at the title.....it says ROBERT DOWNEY JR

  • @Maralo1 IT IS ROBERT!!!!!!

  • This really is Robert Downey Jr. He released an album called The Futurist in 2004. Look it up.
