Only If for a Night
And I had a dreamAbout my old schoolAnd she was thereAll pink and gold and glitteringI threw my arms around her legsCame to weepingCame to weeping
And I heard your voiceAs clear as dayAnd you told meI should concentrateIt was all so strangeAnd so surrealThat a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solutionWas to stand and fightAnd my body was bruisedAnd I was set alightBut she came over meLike some holy riteAnd although I was burningYou're the only light
Only if for a night
In the grass was so greenAgainst my new clothesAnd I did cartwheels in your honourDancing on tiptoesMy own secret ceremonialsBefore the service beganIn the graveyard doing handstands
And I heard your voiceAs clear as dayAnd you told meI should concentrateIt was all so strangeAnd so surrealThat a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solutionWas to stand and fightAnd my body was bruisedAnd I was set alightBut she came over meLike some holy riteAnd although I was burningYou're the only light
Only if for a night
My doll, my dear, my darlingTell me what all this sighing's aboutTell me what all this sighing's about
And I heard your voiceAs clear as dayAnd you told meI should concentrateIt was all so strangeAnd so surrealThat a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night...
