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 robin's 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 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
