Said goodbye for the summer
That to my surprise
Has turned into a lifetime
If I had known then that
You were the price I'd pay
I would have stayed
So glad I didn't know
But I miss the sea
And I miss seeing you so
Send me some saltwater
Send me some saltwater
Send me some saltwater
And I will cry my salty tears back to you
I hear the words you spoke
Those final words
As if you were here
"don't go, I think I love you"
But I miss the sea
And I miss seeing you so...
Oh Bluenose has sailed away
Leaving me behind
All I have to hold on to
Is the silver silhouette on a dime
The place I used to call mine
Is now where I vacation from time to time
Farewell to Nova Scotia, the seaboard coast
May your mountains dark and dreary be
For when I am far away
From the briny ocean tossed
Will you heave a sign for me oh
But I miss the sea
And I miss seeing you so...
