[Verse 1]
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 wound up here is anyone's guess
When the new sights grow old
And I start to feel cold
I'll sail home again
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Strolling over the sand
And cobblestone paths that wind through the trees
And breathing the sweet forest air
Makes a bluebird aware
That she could be free
When the new sights grow old
And I start to feel cold
I'll sail home again
[Chorus]
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 (I wish you well)
[Outro]
So until then I wish you well (I wish you well)
I love you my darling, farewell
My dear Brielle
