Song for the Mira

Out on the Mira on warm afternoons
Old men go fishing with black line and spoons
And if they catch nothing they never complain
And I wish I was with them again

Boys on the boats call to girls by the shore
Teasing the ones that they dearly adore
And into the evening the courting begins
And 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 warm summer nights
Campfires blazе to the children's delight
Thеy dance round the flames singing songs to their friends
And I wish I was with them again

And into the evening the stories are told
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold
Stars on the riverbed, sparkle and spin
And 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

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

I'll leave you now, with a wish you go well
Good health and good fortune, may your happiness swell
I'll leave you now, for my journey begins
And I'm going to be 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
