[Verse 1] I wish that we were made of gold I wish that we would never grow old Do all the things weve never tried If wishes were horses then beggars would ride Then beggars would ride [Verse 2] I wish that politicians 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 [Bridge] When you get what you want and its 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 [Verse 3] I wish that we 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
