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 robings egg blue, Her grandmother's dress

When I left home 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 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
