Lyrics

[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)
[Verse 2]
And I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange and it's so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
[Verse 3]
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 4]
The grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honor, dancing on tip toes
My own secret ceremonials before the service began
In the graveyard, doing handstands
[Verse 5]
And I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange and it's so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
[Verse 6]
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 7]
My doe, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all this sighing's about
Tell me what all this sighing's about
[Verse 8]
And I heard your voice as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange and it's so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
[Verse 9]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Only if for a night (Oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Only if for a night (Oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Only if for an earth (Oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Only if for a knife (Oh)
[Verse 10]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Only if for an earth (Oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Only if for a night (Oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Only if for an earth (Oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
Only if for a night (Oh)
Ooh
