There's a handwritten note pressed in the door of her screened in porch
And I am sailing away recalling that day miles from shore
She was still wearing white and robins egg blue, her grandmother's dress
When I left early this year, how I wound up here? Is anyone's guess?
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold, I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams
that we knew so well
I'll see you around
Our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly you floated by
and now you're alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well,
My dear Brielle
Strolling over the sand, cobblestone paths that wind through the trees
Breathing the sweet forest air makes a bluebird aware that she could be free
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold, I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around
Our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly you floated by
and now you're alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well,
So until then I wish you well,
I love you my darling farewell,
My dear Brielle.
