Johnny McEvoy - 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

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 tired old 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 nets
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 for more

And 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 wishes
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 nets
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 for 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
