Sweet Melody,
coming home to her family.
After years of traveling,
wandering through her universe,
trying to escape her horrible fate.
After years of running,
away from what she knows,
towards the Doctor.
The silence came
and stole a baby,
raised her up
to be a lady.
Tick tock
goes the clock,
Even for the Doctor.
Tick tock
goes the clock,
Till the Doctor calls,
and silence falls.
Tick tock
goes the clock,
Till River
kills the Doctor.
Melody,
Mel,
River,
Professor,
Doctor,
Malone.
Her name comes
in all sorts of forms.
But she is still
the frightened little girl
who escaped
from herself,
who escaped
from the Silence.
She is the girl
who died for love,
who lived for love,
who grew up
with the love of her parents,
even if they didn't recognize her.
She fought for her love,
and recognized
that the fate
she had been brought up to accept
could be rewritten.
