FULL LYRICS:
Let it go my love, my truest, .et 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, .et 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
Let it go my love, my truest, .et 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, .et 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.
Carrie Newcomer's music has always explored the intersection of the spiritual and the daily, the sacred and the ordinary. Over the course of her career she has become a prominent voice for progressive spirituality, social justice and interfaith dialogue. Her ability for sharp observation of the world lead the Dallas Morning News to rave, "She's the kind of artist whose music makes you stop, think and then say, 'that is so true.'" She has been described as "a soaring songstress" by Billboard, a "prairie mystic" by the Boston Globe and Rolling Stone has declared that Newcomer "asks all the right questions." Author Barbara Kingsolver wrote, "She's a poet, storyteller, snake-charmer, good neighbor, friend and lover, minister of the wide-eyed gospel of hope and grace."

My pastor just recently left my church, because god was calling him home to his family. He played this song, as a loving goodbye to the community.
Exactly what the world needs right now.
Hi Carrie my mom Terri Dillon said you were college roommates and she would just listen to you play all night long... We're sitting here playing cadres and listening to you sing. Love your music you're awesome!!!
One of the most profound pieces of music I have ever heard
I just my beloved Zeke, he was an Isabella Siberian Husky, he was my beautiful Blue Eyed Friend. Thank you for this beautiful song!
I became familiar with this song a few months ago as a good friend was dying. He definitely treated life as "such a fine thing," yet was ready to let it go and "take up where we left off when we all meet again."
To really appreciate this beautiful lady, you must see her in person. I have many, many times and still can't get enough of her music. She is a wonderful person to talk to and be around.
I am missing my mama and my daddy, and my son, and my big brother. Thank you for this exquisite song.
Carrie,
You are an amazing singer/songwriter. You make me smile and feel love. Thanks for the music.
In an hour of profound sadness, overwhelmed by a sense of impending loss, I first heard this song yesterday and found myself moved to joy and tears of gratitude. Thank you, oh thank you, Carrie Newcomer!
I trust that things are better in your life today, David.
Sending light and love your way!
Her music HAS GOTTEN ME THROUGH SONE OF THE ROUGH TIMES - FOREVER INDEEBTED & GRATEFYL !! SO SO GRATRFUL!!!
Finally, a live performance that is as good as or better than the recorded version. I am also grateful to the audience for listening quietly.
She is my favorite female singer/songwriter. I have been fortunate enough to see her live four times now.
I've only seen her 3 times. That's not nearly enough.
So lucky Mark
Healing ...
Oh, I purchased this album on my mobile phone (android) ..while it's nice to share from here, I like to pay for the beauty she provides with her voice and lyrics
Beautiful
I cannot listen to any other singer songwriter. Your lyrics are profound. Your melodies are so sweet. Please come to Monterey, CA
Carrie, I've only just stumbled across your music by complete accident and I'm just blown away with your beautiful voice.
I'm so happy that I've found your channel. I'm going through a very difficult time in my life and your beautiful music is helping to take the pain away.
Thank you.
Beatifully written and presented!
Her music has intelligence and soul!
A pleasure to discover a new artist!
Great song from a wonderful album. I like on the album notes the reference to Bruce Cockburn's "Festival of Friends", another great song.
Songwriting on top level ... just exceled by that brilliant performance!
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.

Another of my many Carrie favorites! This song has been playing in my head for days now...always in the background of my thoughts. And I don't mind one little bit!
beautiful post, thank you
you can't see it on video,
but this woman is glowing.
I can see/feel her glow!
To Tina, a love I'll never forget. (Thank you, Carrie.)
Beautiful performance at Eddie's Attic last night in Decatur, GA. Thank you Carrie and Gary -- again! Uplifting and so genuine.
Beautiful !
Awesome! Ty.
What a beautifully inspirited performance! ❤️
Very profound and saved more than once. Thank you. Means a lot to me.
carrie dedicated this song to my partner Vicki Hall who died in my arms on August 11 2009.
:-o
❤❤❤❤
awesome! Buskirk Chumley!
now didn't we!
Heard you for the first time tonight on WPR, an interview you did in Minnesota back in 2014 I think. I really enjoyed your music. Great lyrics, great melodies.
Only found this music looking for more Alison Krauss music, and find this woman is really lovely. Not a religious person at all, but love her voice.
Rumi said" wherever you stand, be the spirit of that place"; voila!
~💜💜💜~
I love this song. It's only three chords to play on the guitar, but what a lovely combination of chords and lyrics.
Carrie. Thank you, so beautiful. I have worked this song up myself if you don't mind. I just lost my nephew in an avalanche and want to play this for his mother. Your music transcends, it is magic. Gwen
Nice Song Mz. Newcomer, A friend from Elkhart!
What else is there to say about life and friends!
good question--thanks
Love your talents!!! Could you also give credit to the guitarist beside you? It has always bothered me when no one but the least singer is mentioned. He's a blessing to you!
Hi Carrie, You look like Elaine Newcomer--are you related? I love your singing--a beautiful voice.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
