Because she is so angry and Joe's refusal to become truly angry at the powers that be, Sara finally leaves him.

lyrics

SARA
It’s time to go,
It’s time to go, now, Joe
I can’t stay. Can’t stay with you.
I can’t live. Can’t live with you.
So what else can I do?
What else can I do?
I know the feel of leaving all things bright,
This place where shadows twist to conjure night
Where once my heart protected peaceful light
My soul is broken and my chest is tight
Now I’m alone. Adrift with no desire.
My heart’s a lonely house that’s been set on fire.

CHORUS
It’s time to go, It’s time to go now, Joe.

SARA
I have tried and tried and tried
And shed my blood in tears, you know I cried.
There is nothing left for you.
A mother’s arms must let her children go.
A mother’s arms must let her children go.
And now my man won’t cry or scream!
Where are your tears my love?
Where is your dream?
I can’t love a man who lets the world walk on him.

CHORUS
It’s time to go,
It’s time to go, now, Joe! (Growing more intense.)

SARA
I know the feel of leaving all things bright,
This place where shadows twist to conjure night
Where once my heart protected
My soul is broken and my chest is tight
Now I’m alone
[It becomes deadly quiet.]
It’s your fault
It’s your fault
It’s your fault
I think our children were betrayed by you.
Betrayed by your strong, silent dirge.
Man of faith. Faith in what?
