The Parting
By Caitlin Grey/Neil Harvey, Copyright 2008


I am gone, far away
You are night, I am day
Take my heart in your hand
Suffer no more, oh my young man.

Told a tale, told it well
Silent eyes never tell
Though my heart, I did deceive
Suffer no more, to live and grieve

Many suns rise and set
And our love, so ill met
Whispered words on the breeze
Black as your heart are my tears

I am gone, far away
You are night, I am day
No farewell, take no vow
Suffer no more, to love me now.

Do not wait here for me
I shall not come where you be
Stay no more, winds grow cold
Black as your heart is my soul

Hi Longing1974! Thanks so much for your kind comments! To answer your questions, I'm currently working on a brand new album which will hopefully be released very soon. I draw inspiration for my songs from lots of sources...books, poetry, nature and, of course, life experience! To you, and to everyone else who has tuned in to my channel and left such lovely comments, thanks for listening and a very happy 2012! Very best wishes, Caitlin xx

I stumbled upon this genre of music by accident while listening to the radio on a late night in the 90s. I didn't know what it was nor any of the singers. I've been looking for it ever since, and now I've found it; at least one song. I hope someone will recommend more songs like this so I can finally enjoy this beautiful, soulful music. Thanks ahead of time.

Again I wish i was born 350 years ago in the lands of my ancestors?

[moodpictures]

This song brings tears to my eyes, remember my first true love for many many years ago .... this day, I still think she was the only one.

Wonderful to cry just for a moment before life goes on.

[nolicnotrut]

Wow!!!!

Beautiful lyrics, singing and orchestration.

I don't know the background story, but I detect love and grief.

I wept!

[MezzoCoco]

Could someone please submit the lyrics to the song?

Please!
