Brielle

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 sights 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 a blaze

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

Breathing the sweet forest air makes

The blue bird aware that she could be free

When the new sights 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 a blaze

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
