[ti:Song For The Mira]
[ar:Celtic Thunder]
[00:05.855] Out on the Mira on warm afternoons,
[00:11.555] Old men go fishing with black line and spoons;
[00:17.255] And if they catch nothing they never complain,
[00:22.756] And I wish I was with them again.
[00:28.606] As boys in the boats call to girls on the shore,
[00:34.406] Teasing the ones that they dearly adore;
[00:39.957] And into the evening the courting begins,
[00:45.557] I wish I was with them again.
[00:51.556] Can you imagine a piece of the universe,
[00:57.158] More fit for princes and kings?
[01:02.458] I'll trade you ten of your cities for Marion Bridge,
[01:09.558] And the pleasure it brings.
[01:15.959] Out on the Mira on soft summer nights,
[01:21.509] Bonfires blaze to the children's delight;
[01:27.209] They dance round the flames singing songs with their friends,
[01:32.709] And I wish I was with them again.
[01:38.722] And over the ashes the stories are told,
[01:44.177] Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold;
[01:50.78] Stars on the river they sparkle and spin,
[01:55.528] I wish I was with them again.
[02:01.578] Can you imagine a piece of the universe,
[02:07.128] More fit for princes and kings?
[02:12.978] I'll trade you ten of your cities for Marion Bridge,
[02:19.579] And the pleasure it brings.
[02:25.680] Out on the Mira,the people are kind,
[02:31.539] They'll treat you to homebrew,and help you unwind;
[02:37.139] And if you come broken they'll see that you mend,
[02:42.789] I wish I was with them again.
[02:48.690] Now I'll conclude with a wish you go well,
[02:55.90] Sweet be your dreams,and your happiness swell;
[03:01.42] I'll leave you here,for my journey begins,
[03:08.292] I'm going to be with them again,
[03:15.292] I'm going to be with them again.
