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