The Gathering of Spirits - Carrie Newcomer, Alison Krauss

Let it go my love, my truest

Let it sail on silver wings

Life’s a twinkling and 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 the open

Like the love we won’t forget

Like the laughter that we started

And it hasn’t died down yet

Let it go my love, my truest

Let it sail on silver wings

Life’s a twinkling and 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

Oh yeah, 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

Like a light through colored glass

Some give it all in one great flame

Throwing kisses as they pass

So let it go my love, my truest

Let it sail on silver wings

Life’s a twinkling and 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

East of Eden

But there’s Heaven in our midst

And we’re never really all that far

From those we loved and miss

Wade out in the water

There’s a glory all around

And the wisest say there’s a 1000 ways

To kneel and kiss the ground

Let it go my love, my truest

Let it sail on silver wings

Life’s a twinkling and 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

And we’ll take up where we left off

When we all meet again
