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
