Album: An Airplane Carried Me to Bed
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 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 whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams
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,
And cobblestone paths
That wind through the trees
Breathing the sweet forest air
Makes a bluebird 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
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
