The Mad Man With a Box

as night turns into day,
you take me far away.
you offered me your hand. 
the winding stars and strands… 

i opened up my eyes, 
and to my great surprise
the world was full of light, 
all shining lily white. 

what is a life with you?
what’s life without you too?
it seems we are astray, 
just ghosts among the gray. 

and you, my shadow man, 
with pockets full of sand… 
it’s a lonesome life you lead, 
wrapped all in time and tweed… 

(bridge: “i am the doctor” medley) 

 and quiet came our way, 
the cracks came out to play. 
and come the ticking clocks,
the mad man with the box.
