I wish I was home again
At home in my heart again
It's been a long time
Since my heart talked to me
Wasting my precious days
Wishing my life away
If wishes were fishes
We'd all cast nets into the sea.
If wishes were fishes I know where I'm d be
Casting my nets in the dark rolling sea
And if my let's empty when it comes back to shore,
I'd throw them away and go fishing no more.
I wish I was young again
My songs still be sung again
The sweet songs of my life
Have gone sour and off key
Writing my tired old rhymes
Trying to turn back time
If wishes were fishes
We'd all cast nets into the sea
I wish I could care again
Reach out and share again
Mend what's been broken
And let it run free
The older I get it seems
More wishes take the place of dreams
If wishes were fishes
We'd all cast nets into the sea
