Celtic Thunder - Song For The Mira lyrics

rate me

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

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 evening the courting begins

I wish I was with them again.

Chorus:

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

Bonfires blaze to the children's delight

They dance 'round the flames singing 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 they sparkle and spin

I wish I was with them again

Chorus

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 home-brew and help you unwind

And if you come broken you'll see that you mend

I wish I was with them again

Now I'll conclude with a wish you go well

Sweet be your dreams, and your happiness swell

I'll leave you here, for my journey begins

I'm going to be with them again.

I'm going to be with them again.
