Squier It's comin' on twilight, and all the world's at ease They're pullin' down the curtains, sailin' off to sweet release Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on But me I'm not so quiet - I'm restless and I'm mean I won't let you know I'm bleedin', that I'm crawlin on my knees 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 I tried hard to help her, let her do as she pleased And I loved her so naughty - made her weak in the knees Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on We're so hard to handle - we're selfish and we're sad And we throw away those precious things we work so hard to have Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so deep I would swim away from time I wish I had a river I could skate away on Do we have to say goodbye It's comin' on daybreak, and everyone's at peace They're dreamin' bout deliverance from the wounds that will not cease Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on But me I'm not so lucky - I'm anxious and I'm lean I've made a tone of money but I can't buy out this 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 skate away on I have to say goodbye
