"Pour one for the Doctor!"
You say to the nurse
Every Time
Every Time
And
Every Time
Every Time
She smiles at you
(Sadly)
As she pours an extra cup of brandy
And
You tell her stories
(All about him)
Every Time
Every Time
She gets to hear all about
The Man of Many Faces
"No, really, this time he was so skinny that you wouldn't have seen him if he turned sideways,
Well,
If it wasn't for that hair!"
(You think that the Doctor likes to show off his hair too much)
And she laughs
But,
Her laughs are always full of…
…Pity
And,
You know that she pities you
And,
You know that she thinks you're an old kook
But,
You don't really care what she thinks
(You don't really care what anybody thinks)
-not anymore-
You just act like you don't notice
You pretend that you can't see her
sadsadsmiles
And her
woeisyoulaughs
Because,
She is nice
Because,
She listens
Every Time
Every Time
And,
When she leaves
(You know)
That she is the only one who doesn't call you crazy
Who doesn't talk about you to the other patients and workers
Who cares about you
And,
That's how you know
When
It's time
For you
To let go
And
Simply
Go
To
Sleep
