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 loose 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 loose 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
Madam, my dear, my darling Tell me what all this sighings about Tell me what all this sighings 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
Florence and the Machine - Only If For A Night
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 loose 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 loose 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
Madam, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all this sighings about
Tell me what all this sighings 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
Only if for a night
