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 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
