Setting / Spoilers: Introspective and set during Gridlock (hence implied Tenth Doctor, although this will work for any Doctor post-Time War). No real spoilers unless you don’t know about the Time War.
A/N: This piece was inspired by the song It’s A Long Way To Tipperary written by Jack Judge and Harry Williams.

There’s a place that I once knew well,
There’s a place I called home;
A place I could once return to,
That’s now burnt and long-since gone.
Good-bye to all I held dear –
To friends both foul and fair –
For no matter how I try to hide it,
My two hearts died there.
