River
Wistful Winter Reflections: A Song of Longing and Loss
Lyrics
It's coming on Christmas
Anticipation of the Christmas season
They're cutting down trees
Reference to deforestation for holiday traditions
They're putting up reindeer
Symbolic depiction of festive decorations
And singing songs of joy and peace
Observation of the cheerful atmosphere through music
Oh, I wish I had a river
Desire for an escape or a fresh start
I could skate away on
Yearning for a place of solace and freedom
But it don't snow here
Contrasting the lack of snow in the current location
It stays pretty green
Emphasizing the enduring greenery instead of snow
I'm going to make a lot of money
Aspiration for financial success
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Desire to leave behind a chaotic environment
I wish I had a river
Reiteration of the desire for an escape
I could skate away on
Continued yearning for a place of freedom
I wish I had a river so long
Wish for a profound change or opportunity
I would teach my feet to fly
Imagining a transformative experience
Oh, I wish I had a river
Repetition of the longing for escape
I could skate away on
Desire to leave current emotional distress
I made my baby cry
Recognition of causing emotional pain
He tried hard to help me
Acknowledgment of someone's effort to comfort
You know, he put me at ease
Feeling reassured and loved
And he loved me so naughty
Reflecting on the intensity of affection
Made me weak in the knees
Impact of overwhelming emotions
Oh, I wish I had a river
Continued wish for escape and solace
I could skate away on
Describing personal difficulty to manage
I'm so hard to handle
Self-awareness of personal challenges
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Admitting to selfishness and sadness
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
Regret over losing a significant relationship
That I ever had
Sense of losing a precious partner
Oh, I wish I had a river
Reiteration of the desire for escape
I could skate away on
Continued wish for a place of freedom
I wish I had a river so long
Reaffirmation of longing for change or escape
I would teach my feet to fly
Desire for transformation and liberation
Oh, I wish I had a river
Yearning for an opportunity to start anew
I could skate away on
Repetition of the desire for an escape
I made my baby say goodbye
Acknowledgment of causing a painful departure
It's coming on Christmas
Reiteration of the approaching Christmas
They're cutting down trees
Reference to ongoing deforestation
They're putting up reindeer
Symbolic depiction of festive decorations
Singing songs of joy and peace
Observation of joyous celebrations through music
I wish I had a river
Continued longing for an escape
I could skate away on
Desire for a place of solace and freedom
