"Doctor Who | Between | Clara Oswald | such heights" (Watch on YouTube)

lyrics:

We are not together here
Though we lie entwined
To make room for the other presence
We both draw back in our minds
I have a prophecy
Threatening to spill into words
This growing certainty
Of Over

There once was a time I was sure of the bond
When my hands and my tongue and my thoughts were enough
We are the same but our lives move along
And the third one between replaces what once was love

Freedom is being alone
I fear liberation
But something more alive than silence
Swallows conversation
No pleasing drama
In subtle averted eyes
The swelling fermata
As the chord dies

There's no denying we feel the third one
We do
I'm tired of hiding and so are you

You seem to be on a mission to make me add every song Vienna Teng ever recorded to my Doctor Who playlist. :) Lovely, lovely vid.

The more I come to know Clara, the more I love her - and beautiful creations like this are at least part of the reason why. Gorgeous; thank you for creating it.

Beautiful. Clara never settles for anything and this captures that well.

Oh, this is beautiful!

Lovely, and ugh, this one hurts.
