the time has come christy moore

No words for this wonderful song.
I tried to put some photos that i made & others from my mind to capture this Christy's masterpiece.

Christy Moore/Donal Lunny

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.




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.




How their sorrow touched us all
In those final days
When it was the time she held the door
And touched his sallow face.




The flame he lit by leaving
Is still burning strong
By the lights it's plain to see
The suffering still goes on.




The time has come to part, my love
I must go away
I leave you now, my darling girl,
No longer can I stay.

Nice and very touching song, but the maker of the video did forget (deliberately) the political implications of the song, which is about the 1981 republican prisoners' hunger strike demanding to the brit authorities to grant them back their political status. The song is dedicated to the mother of Patsy O'Hara, INLA (Irish Republican Socialist) prisoner from Doire (Derry).

i don't forget. the political implications of the song. is very important... but my video goes deep inside, down the sentimento. i hope. under the skin. under the useless comment. i tried to show the sorrow fot that person. sorry if you don't like but this is my expression.

Very beautiful song but yet sad too. I heard it for the first time just now. I love it.

@rogie2008 100% sure its about Ohara ... but as you say great song no matter who .

[rogie2008]

I believe you will find that it was written for Ray McCreesh. Either way it a beautiful song and all 10 mend deserve there place in history.

remembered with pride all 3 INLA 7 PIRA Volunteers who hungered for justice, may their memory live on and our revenge will be the laughter of our children, in a united island

I've been searching for this song everywhere, and didn't find it until now. It's soo beautiful and sad, but I'm just glad to hear it.
