The time has come to part my love
Looking for the title of a song with the following lyrics:
The time has come to part my love because I must go away
I leave you now my darling girl because no longer can I stay
and the flame ?????? it is still burning strong and by the light
that shows the way oh how the suffering still goes on and how their sorrow does touch us all, those final days
when it was safe she held the door then she touched his sorrowed face
Her bond it was eternal, and will bring you dreadfull pain
but if I ??? would recongnize for ??????????????????????
for the time has come to part my love because I must go away
I leave you know my darling girl because no longer can I stay
Please let me know if anyone know of this song.
Thanks

Hi JKAK,
The song's title is "The Time Has Come" and was written by Christy Moore and Donal Lunny. It is about Patsy O'Hara, who died on hunger strike in Long Kesh Prison Camp in 1981, and his girlfriend who travelled up from Dublin shortly before he passed away.

The time has come to part my love, and I must go away
I'll leave you now my darling girl
No longer can I stay
My heart like yours is breaking
Together we'll prove strong
The road I take will show the world the suffering that goes on
The gentle clasp that holds my hand must loosen and let go
Please help me through the door
But instinct tells you no
Our vow it is eternal
And will bring you dreadful pain
But if our demands aren't recognised, don't call me back again
How their sorrow touched us all in those final days
When it was time she held the door, and touched his sallow face
The flame he lit while leaving, is still burning strong
And by the light it's plain to see the suffering still goes on
The time has come to part my love, and I must go away
I'll leave you now my darling girl, no longer can I stay
