Out on the Mira on warm afternoons,
Old men go fishing with black line and spoon;
And if they catch nothing they never complain,
And I wish I was with them again.
Boys in their boats, all the girls on the shore,
Teasing the ones 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,
Bonfires blaze to the children's delight;
They dance 'round the flames singing songs with their friends,
And I wish I was with them again.
Over [spoken ->] the ashes stories are told,
Of witches and werewolves and [sung ->] Oak Island gold;
Stars on the river-face 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,
And I wish I was with them again.
So now I'll conclude with a wish you go well,
Sweet be your dreams, may your happiness swell;
I'll leave you now, for my journey begins,
I'm going to be with them again.
Yes, 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.
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.
Oh, I'm going to be with them...
Going to be with them...
Yes, I'm going to be with them... a...gain.
