Only If For A Night

[Verse 1]
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)
Came to weeping (came to weeping)

[Pre-Chorus]
Then 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

[Chorus]
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night

[Verse 2]
And the grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honor
Dancing on tiptoes
My own secret ceremonials
Before the service began
In the graveyard doing handstands

[Pre-Chorus]
Then 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

[Chorus]
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night

[Bridge]
My doe, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all the sighing's about
Tell me what all the sighing's about

[Pre-Chorus]
Then 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

[Outro]
Only if for a night (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
