Reading the post from Larry and Big Mick Re- Hunger Strikes reminded me of a song I think by Christy Moore.
Written first for Peggy O'Hara and then dedicated to the families of all the hunger strikers.

The Time Has Come

The [Dm]time has [G]come to [C]part my [F]love
[G]I must go [C]away
I [Dm]leave you [G]now my [C]darling [F]girl
No [G]longer can I [C]stay

My [F]heart like [Em]yours is [F]breaking
To[Am]gether [G]we'll prove [F]strong
The [E7]road I take will [Am]show the [G]world
The [F]suffering [Em]that goes Dm]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 time she held the door
And touched his sallow face

The flame he lit by leaving
Is still burning strong
By the light 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

Regards Baz
