Song For The Mira Anne Murray

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
As boys in their 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

[Verse 3]
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
And 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
