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 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
