Saltwater Lyrics - Chet Atkins

We are a rock revolving 

Around a golden sun 

We are a billion children rolled into one 

So when I hear about the hole in the sky 

Saltwater wells in my eyes 

We climb the highest mountain 

We'll make the desert bloom 

We're so ingenious we can walk the moon 

But when I hear of how the forest have died 

Saltwater wells in my eyes 

I have lived for love 

But now that's not enough 

For the world I love is dying And now I'm crying 

And time is not a friend (no friend of mine) 

As friends we're out of time 

And it's slowly passing by ....right before our eyes 

We light the deepest ocean 

Send photographs of Mars 

We're so enchanted my how clever we are 

Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries 

Saltwater wells in my eyes 

I have lived for love 

But now that's not enough 

For the world I love is dying And now I'm crying 

And time is not a friend (no friend of mine) 

As friends we're out of time 

And it's slowly passing by ....right before our eyes 

We are a rock revolving 

Around a golden sun 

We are a billion children rolled into one 

What will I think of me the day that I die 

Saltwater wells in my eyes 

Saltwater wells in my eyes
