Lyrics Celtic Thunder – Song For The Mira
Text:
Keith:
Out on the Mira on warm afternoons
Old men go fishing with black line and spoons
George:
And I wish I was with them again
Emmet:
As boys in the boats call to girls on the shore
Teasing the ones that they dearly adore
Neil:
And into the evening the courting begins
And I wish I was with them again
Tutti:
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
Daniel:
Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
Bonfires blaze to the children’s delight
Neil:
They dance ’round the flames singing songs with their friends
And I wish I was with them again
Emmet:
And over the ashes the stories are told
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold
George:
Stars on the river-face sparkle and spin
I wish I was with them again
Tutti:
More fit for princes and kings?
I’ll trade you ten of your cities for Marion Bridge
And the pleasure it brings.
Keith:
Out on the Mira, the people are kind
They’ll treat you to homebrew, and help you unwind
George:
And if you come broken they’ll see that you mend
I wish I was with them again
Emmet:
Now I’ll conclude with a wish you go well
Daniel:
Sweet be your dreams, and your happiness swell
Neil:
I’ll leave you here, for my journey begins
Tutti:
I’m going to be with them again
I’m going to be with them again
