Song for the Mira Songtext
von Celtic Thunder

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
