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
And I left home 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 seasons 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, 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
The 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 sights grow old
And I start to feel cold
I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle
Only seasons 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, 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
