Only If for a Night lyrics

And I had a dream

About my old school

And she was there

All pink and gold and glittering

I threw my arms around her legs

Came to weeping

Came to weeping

And I heard your voice

As clear as day

And you told me

I should concentrate

It was all so strange

And so surreal

That a ghost should be so practical

Only if for a night

And the only solution

Was to stand and fight

And my body was bruised

And I was set alight

But she came over me

Like some holy rite

And although I was burning

You're the only light

Only if for a night

In the grass was so green

Against my new clothes

And I did cartwheels in your honour

Dancing on tiptoes

My own secret ceremonials

Before the service began

In the graveyard doing handstands

And I heard your voice

As clear as day

And you told me

I should concentrate

It was all so strange

And so surreal

That a ghost should be so practical

Only if for a night

And the only solution

Was to stand and fight

And my body was bruised

And I was set alight

But she came over me

Like some holy rite

And although I was burning

You're the only light

Only if for a night

My doll, my dear, my darling

Tell me what all this sighing's about

Tell me what all this sighing's about

And I heard your voice

As clear as day

And you told me

I should concentrate

It was all so strange

And so surreal

That a ghost should be so practical

Only if for a night...
