The Time Has Come Lyrics

(Verse)
The time has come to part my love I must go away
I 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
(Verse)
The gentle clasp that holds my hand must loosen and let go
Please help me through the door though 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
(Verse)
How their sorrow touched us all in those final days
When it was time she held the door and touched his shallow face
The flame he lit by leaving is still burning strong
By the lights it's plain to see the suffering still goes on
(Outro)
The time has come to part my love I must go away
I leave you now my darling girl no longer can I stay
