If Wishes Were Fishes lyrics
If Wishes Were Fishes lyrics
I wish I was home again,
at home in my heart again.
It’s been a long time
since my heart talked to me.
Wastin’ my precious days
wishin’ my life away.
If wishes were fishes,
we’d all cast nets in the sea.
And I wish I was young again,
my song still to be sung again.
The sweet tunes of my life
have gone sour and off key.
Writin’ my tired old rhymes,
tryin’ to turn back time.
If wishes were fishes,
we’d all cast nets in the sea.
If wishes were fishes,
I know where I’d be:
casting my net
in the dark rolling sea.
And if my net’s empty
when it comes back to shore,
I’ll throw it away
and go fishing no more.
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,
the more wishin’ takes the place of dreams.
If wishes were fishes,
we’d all cast nets in the sea.
If wishes were fishes,
I know where I’d be:
casting my net
in the dark rolling sea.
And if my net’s empty
when it comes back to shore,
I’ll throw it away
and go fishing no more.
I wish I was home again,
at home in my heart again.
It’s been a long time
since my heart talked to me.
Wastin’ my precious days
wishin’ my life away.
If wishes were fishes,
we’d all cast nets in the sea.
