Brielle

There′s a handwritten note pressed in the door
Of her screened in porch
And I am sailing away recalling that dayMiles from shore

She was still wearing white and robin's egg blue
Her grandmother′s dress
When I left early this year how I won't appear
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 and cobblestone paths
That wind through the trees
And breathing the sweet forest air makes the blue bird 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
