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 in the sea
And I wish I was young again, my songs still to be sung again
The sweet tunes of my life have gone sour and off-key
Writing my tidal rhymes, trying 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 wishing 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
Wasting my precious days, wishing my life away
If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets in the sea
