The Doctor's Waltz

[Instrumental] [Verse] Hey-Hey! Doctor, Doctor! I need saving! Open your mouth — show me what's decaying Called me strange, called me lost A weeping curse... I had it all My friend, let me take your hand and lead this wound to close I answer the oath I can't break [Pre-Chorus] They scream my title down the lane Called me strange, called me lost You take my hand the way she never could [Chorus] Call to me, my dear friend, Let me take you to a place that keeps you safe, Turn with me, turn with the bone, Doctor, Doctor... now the doctor's alone, Round and round, the lantern sleeps but never dies, It's going to be okay, I can hear your cries. [Violin solo] [Verse] Hey-Hey! Doctor, Doctor! I've been praying! Lord's asleep, but I am here to help Do you see me? I'm the mist between your breaths, The partner you can't forget. [Pre-Chorus] They scream my title down the lane Called me strange, called me lost You take my hand the way she never could [Chorus] Call to me, my dear friend, Let me take you to a place that keeps you safe, Turn with me, turn with the bone, Doctor, Doctor... now the doctor's alone, Round and round, the lantern sleeps but never dies, It's going to be okay, I can hear your cries. [Instrumental solo] [Bridge] I help the Reaper, but I'm not his keeper, I'm the hand that guides his scythe, Underneath the petals, it's always you leading, Grief — never letting me sit this one out. The lantern is heavy now... but I keep my sacred vow. [Pre-Chorus – chant] Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm They scream my title down the lane Just a cure... I had it all [Chorus] Call to me, my dear friend, I am here to make your soul mend... or end... Strike the medicine, mend the soul, Turn with me, I'll make you whole, Round and round, the lantern sleeps but never dies, The doctor's alone — but he hears your cries. [Instrumental solo] [Outro/Fadeout] Hush now, little bird... give me your sorrow, I am but a memory caught in a breeze, One, two, three... mmm... mmm... Doctor, Doctor... please help me...
