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 her 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 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 your 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,
cobblestone paths
that wind through the trees
Breathing the sweet forrest air makes a shy boy 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 your 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
My dear Brielle
