I [D] wish I was home again, [G] home in my heart again,
It's [D] been a long time since my heart talked to [A]me;
[D]
Wastin' my precious days, [G] wishin' my life away,
If [D] wishes were fishes, we'd all cast [A] nets into the [D]
sea.
I wish I was young again, my song still 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 into the sea.
Chorus:
If [G] wishes were [A] fishes, I [D] know where I'd [G] be, [C]
Casting my net in the dark rolling
[A] sea;
And [G] if my net's [A] empty when it [D] comes back to [G] shore,
I'll [D] throw it away and go fishing no
[A] 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, more wishin' takes the place of dreams,
If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets into the sea
