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...
