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… chorus: 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… (chorus) And now we’ve been at sea so long Some ask “Is He gonna come?” And I can almost hear… (chorus) 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
