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 home 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 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, 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 sites 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
