Song For The Mira

Out on the Mira on warm afternoons
 Old men go fishin' with black line and spoons
 And if they catch nothin', they've never complain
 I wish I was with them again
 As boys in their boats call to girls on the shore
 Teasin' the ones that they dearly adore
 And into the evening, the courting begins
 I wish I was with them again
 Can you imagine a piece of the universe
 More fit for princes and kings?
 I'll trade you ten of your cities for Marion Bridge
 And the pleasure it brings
 Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
 Bon fires blaze to the children's delight
 They dance 'round the flames singin'
 Songs with their friends
 I wish I was with them again
 And over the ashes the stories are told
 Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold
 The stars on the river face sparkle and spin
 I wish I was with them again
 Can you imagine a piece of the universe
 More fit for princes and kings?
 I'll trade you ten of your cities for Marion Bridge
 And the pleasure it brings
 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
 I wish I was with them again
 Now I'll conclude with the wish you go well
 Sweet be your dreams and your happiness swell
 I'll leave you here, for my journey begins
 I'm goin' to be with them again
 I'm goin' to be with them again
