Only If for a Night (Live)
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)
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 you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
And the grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honour
Dancing on tiptoes, my own secret ceremonial
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 you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
My doe, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all the sighing is about
Tell me what all the sighing is 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 (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night
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)
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 you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
And the grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honour
Dancing on tiptoes, my own secret ceremonial
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 you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
My doe, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all the sighing is about
Tell me what all the sighing is 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 (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night
