The Doctor's Wife
DOCTORMonday the twenty-sixth of MarchThe patient's passing seizures are becoming more pronounced by the dayThe underlying causeSeems to be some slow progressive decayIf I don't find a cureI fear my patient must surely fade awayBut I swearI'll apply my scienceTo the causeBrooking no defianceI'll deliver her from this maladyShe'll dance againAnd I'll never forget when we first were courtingAnd she faced me, and her eyes were gleamingIn the moonlight, and she spoke so sweetlyWIFEDon't let me go, my darlingHold me safely 'til the morningPromise, when the lights are fadingYou'll save me.DOCTORTuesday the seventeenth of MayA worrying symptom has reared its head this weekLetras de cancionesShe's been bedbound for a monthAnd now the patient is no longer able to speakShe tries to utter soundsBut the grip of the illness is strong and the patient is weakOn the bed, in a cold sweatLike a corpse, but she'll live yetWhen I find the cure, I can surely promiseShe'll laugh againAs she did on our wedding dayWhen we danced, and laughed the world awayEven now I can hear her sayWIFEDon't let me go...DOCTORSunday the twenty-third of JuneThe patient no longer responds to stimuli of any kindShe's now my only chargeI clothe her and feed her, and nightly I read by her sideFor though she's paralysedI know that inside there must still be a functioning mindNeatly laid on the bedsheetI can still hear her fading heart-beatI'll keep her stable and continue my researchShe'll smile againAnd I must bring her back to meIn her eyes I can see the gleamIn my mind I can hear her pleadingWIFEDon't let me go...DOCTORTuesday the eighteenth of JulyMy latest apparatus is the only thing that's keeping her aliveI had to stop her heartThe mechanical replacement will ensure the other organs will surviveHer body is destroyedBut what nature has neglected the fruit of modern science shall provideAnd I've broken every code of practiceBut for my love I'd shift the planet's axisShe'll return to me when she's been repairedShe'll live againAnd I swear I can see the gleamIn her eyes amidst the new machinesAnd at night I can hear her whisperWIFEDon't let me go...
