Yea! Finally, Jeff skated to Joni Mitchell's song "River." I have envisioned this for quite some time. I knew Jeff would capture this song exquisitely. "River" is one of my favorite Joni Mitchell songs. For those unfamiliar with this tune, it has been just redone by none other than another Canadian songstress - Sarah McLachlan -on her new CD "Wintersong" which features the great Gordon Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter's Night." Anyway, Jeff was featured in a Xmas special which aired tonight on the CBC. "River" is a beautiful song and Jeff is just the right skater to interpret it.
Thanks Jeff!!!!!!
River - by Joni Mitchell
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 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
Thanks Jeff!!!!!!
