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 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 in cobblestone paths
That wind through the trees
Breathing the sweet forest air
Makes a 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
