A/N - just a warning for anyone who hasn't seen Angels in Manhattan. As River would say, "Spoilers!"
Castle on a cloud
There is a castle on a cloud
I like to go there in my sleep
Aren't any floors for me to sweep
Not in my castle on a cloud
Alain Boublil
That night you told them to go with me
And I wonder sometimes if you regret that
Because I never brought them back
Oh but they saved my life
I swear the Tardis lit up
Like it had missed them too
I brought them to see the universe
And they showed me that my hearts
Weren't broken after all
I always needed a hand to hold
New York, the immortal city
A weekend trip, I thought it would be fun
The city was still young when we dropped in
I dug out a book, Amy bought a newspaper
We wore glasses because it was fun
Rory talked to himself
And fetched the coffee
Everything was beautiful
And right about them nothing hurt
We sat, and grinned, and I read to her
I didn't even yowz
And while we weren't looking they took him
Amy ran so fast, you would have been proud
My book was more than a story
It was a history
Our history
This is the story of Amelia Pond
And this is how it ends
In the immortal city
You haven't met my wife
She's beautiful and wonderful and dangerous
Shouldn't like it but I do
One heart stops when I see her
I seem to take it in my stride
I love her and I've seen her die
But right then, right there
We were almost on the same page
At the same place in time
And it was wonderful
She broke her hand and I fixed her
I'm the Doctor, after all!
Things⦠happened
I lost them, your children
My Ponds
River lost her parents
Did they mention that?
Their daughter
It's all very wibbly-wobbly
Amy wrote me a letter
She told me that she was happy
They got to have a life
Without me
Back on the Tardis together
She seemed okay
I suppose she'll get to see them again
I needed someone right then
But the Doctor and his wife
Do not travel together
One psychopath per Tardis
She said it with a grin
Tried to pretend she couldn't see
That I was broken
I am sorry
I lost them
And this time I can't go back
This time I won't
They'll be happier without me
A normal, human life
They can grow old together
Losing them
It made me wonder
What good I can really do
I can't do it anymore
Everyone dies, don't they?
The universe will just have to take care of itself
I'm building a castle
I know a place where no one's lost
I know a place where no one cries
Crying at all is not allowed
Not in my castle on a cloud.
