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:
