The Gathering of Spirits Lyrics

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 the open,
like the love we won't forget
like the laughter that we started
and it hasn't died down yet
chorus

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
chorus

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
and the wisest say there's a 1000 ways
to kneel and kiss the ground

chorus
