Tick tock, goes the clock,
And Now what shall we play?
Tick tock, goes the clock,
Now Summers gone away.
Tick tock, goes the clock,
And then what shall we see?
Tick tock, until the day,
'Till thou shalt marry me.
Tick tock, goes the clock,
And all the years they fly,
Tick tock, and all too soon,
You and I must die.
Tick tock, goes the clock,
We laughed at fate and mourned her,
Tick tock, goes the clock,
Even for the doctor.
Tick tock, goes the clock,
He cradled her, and rocked her,
Tick tock, goes the clock,
Even for the doctor.
Doctor, brave and good,
He turned away from violence,
When he understood,
The falling of the silence.
Tick tock, goes the clock,
He gave her all he could give her,
Tick tock, goes the clock,
Now prison waits for River.
