Song for the Mira

1)  Out on the Mira on warm afternoons

Old men go fishing with black line and spoons

And if they catch nothing they'll never complain

And I wish I was with them again

 

As boys in the boats call to girls on the shore,

Teasing the ones that they dearly adore

And into the evenings the courting begins

And I wish I was with them again

 

Chorus:  Can you imagine a piece of the Universe

More fit for Princess and Kings

I’ll trade you ten of your cities

For Marion Bridge and the pleasures it brings

 

2) Out on the Mira on soft summer nights

Bonfires blazed to the children’s delights

They dance around the flames singing songs with their friends

And I wish I was with them again

 

And over the ashes, stories are told

Of witches and wearwolfes and Oak Island Gold

Stars on the riverface sparkle and spin

And I wish I was with them again

Chorus:

 

3) Out on the Mira the people are kind

They’ll treat you to homebrew and help you unwind

And if you come broken they’ll see that you mend

And I wish I was with them again

 

And now I conclude with a wish you go well

Sweet be your dreams and your happiness well

I’ll leave you here for my journey begins

And I wish I was with them again

Chorus:
