Song for the Mira
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Michael Mitchell

 

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

The boys in their boats
Call to girls on the shore
Teasing the ones
That they truly 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
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

Out on the Mira the people are kind
They'll treat you to home brew
That'll 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 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
I'm going to be with them again
