Lyrics: Canadian singer/songwriter guitarist, and music historian Allister MacGillivray. Vocals: Canadian retired country, pop music and 4 Grammy Award singer Anne Murray.
Anne Murray.
“Song for the Mira” was written in 1973. The “Mira”isn’t a person or a made up place-name for the lyric and video shown hereunder; it’s the actual Mira River in Cape Breton Island, at the eastern end of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, and by extension the easy-going river communities along its banks.
Song For The Mira.
Song For The Mira.
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. As boys in their boats call to girls on the shore, Teasing the one that they dearly 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, 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. Now I’ll conclude with a “wish you go well” Sweet be your dreams, and your happiness swell, I’ll leave you here, for my journey begins, I’m going to be with them, Going to be with them, 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.
