Текст песни If Wishes Were Horses - Kris Drever

I wish that we were made of gold,
I wish that we would never grow old,
Do all the things we never tried,
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride,
Then beggars would ride.
I wish that politician's ties
Would tighten up when they told lies,
I may as well try and stem the tide,
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride,
Then beggars would ride.
When you get what you want and it's not what it seems,
At the top of the mountain without any dreams
At the end of your journey with miles still to go
It just keeps getting harder the more that you know.
I wish that I could move this town,
Across the sea where I live now,
The city lights shine on the Clyde,
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride,
Then beggars would ride.
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride,
Then beggars would ride.
