Goodbye Salty

I've always been a fisherman at heart
Out where the air is clean
And the days are long
I think of a world that saw the light
But chose the dark
And through the night
This hope will keep me strong
And I can hear Him say…

Goodbye, Salty
Oh, I love you
Keep that fire in your heart burnin'
Tell others it's true
And sure as the sea is green and sky is blue
I'll come back, Salty, to get you

When the weather is bad
We still pull from the dock
'Cause we can't stay
If the catch is small, our thoughts are low
Sunshine or rain
You know that we can't complain
'Cause when He left, He said
"Set sail and go"
And l can almost hear…

Goodbye, Salty
Oh, I love you
Keep that fire in your heart burnin'
Tell others it's true
And sure as the sea is green and sky is blue
I'll come back, Salty, to get you

And now we've been at sea so long
Some ask "Is He gonna come?"
"Is He gonna come?"
And I can almost hear…

Goodbye, Salty
Oh, I love you
Keep that fire in your heart burnin'
Tell others it's true
And sure as the sea is green and sky is blue
I'll come back, Salty, to get you
And it won't be long
I'll come back, Salty, to get you

Oh, you are the salt of the earth
And soon I will return
I will make you fishers of men
Until I come back again

Oh, I'm gonna come back again
Oh, I'm gonna come back again
I'm gonna come back to get you
