Does anyone possibly have the lyrics of this Peggy Seeger song, which I've also heard sung by Archie Fisher? Hoping someone will come back with the usual prompt reply: thanks!
It's not in the DT, and can't get it off Google either.

According to Peggy in The Peggy Seeger Songbook (Oak Publications 1998):

Words and music: Peggy Seeger, 1996. "Written in an RV camp in Cape Cod. Can't decide whether it's "Call Out Your Name" or "Call On Your Name." Singing it for a while will decide."

There once was a time when your heart and mine
Told the story that has no end;
I would sooner have died than be taken from your side,
I was welcome: your lover and your friend.

Chorus:
Now I call on your name, call on your name,
Call on your name and I hear no reply.
The dark rolling sea lies between you and me,
How I long for the days gone by.

I remember the day you turned your face away
And your heart took its leave of mine.
Since you've altered in your mind it's as if the hand of time
Point forever to the days gone by.

When love is bright and new, there's little you can do
To cast shadow where the sun shines strong.
When love begins to cool it turns lovers into fools
Who but weep and sing love's old song.

Final chorus:
You're far far away, so far away
Too far away to hear your love cry.
The dark rolling sea lies between you and me,
How I long for the days gone by.

Thanks very much, Desert Dancer: very prompt reply!
Archie Fisher sings "on" (Call on Your Name).
