Only If For A Night in Florence and The Machine

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 it's 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 you came over me like some holy right
And although I was burning
You're the only light
Only if for a night

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 it's 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 you came over me like some holy right
And although I was burning
You're the only light
Only if for a night

Oooh, ooooh
Woah, woah, woah

Madam, my dear, my darling
Tell me what are all this sighing's about
Tell me what are 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 it's so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical

Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
