The Lyrics
The Gathering of Spirits
by Carrie Newcomer (used with permission)Chorus:
Let it go my love my truest, Let it sail on silver wings
Life's a twinkling that's for certain, But it's such a fine thing
There's a gathering of spirits There's a festival of friends
And we'll take up where we left off When we all meet again.
I can't explain it. I couldn't if I tried
How the only things we carry are the things we hold inside.
Like a day in out the open, like the love we won't forget
Like the laughter that we started and hasn't died down yet.
Oh yah, now didn't we and don't we make it shine
Aren't we standing in the center of something rare and fine?
Some glow like embers or light through colored glass
Some give it all in one great flame throwing kisses as they pass
Just east of Eden But there's heaven in our midst
And we're never really all that far from those we love and miss
Wade out in the water there's a glory all around
The wisest say there's a 1000 ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
And we'll take up where we left off when we all meet again.
