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 seasons can tell
Of the sweet dreams
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,
I floated by
And now I'm alone
I wish I knew when
I'll be back again
So until then
I wish you well
My dear Brielle
Skipping over the sand,
Cobblestone paths
That wind through the trees
Breathing the sweet ocean air
Makes a shy boy aware
That he could be free
When the new sites grow old
And I start to feel cold
I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle
Only seasons can tell
Of the sweet dreams
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,
I floated by
And now I'm 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
For the time
Being farewell
My dear Brielle.
