ONLY IF FOR THE NIGHT>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
And I came to weeping
Then 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 one night
The grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honor
Dancing on tiptoes
My own secret ceremonials before the service began
In the graveyard doing handstands
My doe, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all this sighing's about?
Only if for one night.
