Am     F
And I had a dream
  Am     G        Em
About my old school
      F                                  Am    G
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering
           Am           F
I threw my arms around her legs
         Am G             Em  F
Came to weeping (came to weeping)
         Am G
Came to weeping (came to weeping)

       Am             F
And I heard your voice
F
As clear as day
Am       G       Em       F
And you told me I should concentrate
Am     G
It was all so strange
Am      F
And so surreal
          Am         G     Em    F
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night

Chorus:
Am      F                      Am       G
And the only solution was to stand and fight
        Em         F                     Am G
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
         Am        F                  Am G
But you came over me like some holy rite
                    Em                 F
And although I was burning, you're the only light
    Am   G
Only if for a night

And 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

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

Chorus

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, eh, eh)
Only if for a night
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, eh, eh)
Only if for a night
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, eh, eh)
Only if for a night
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, eh, eh)
Only if for a night
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, eh, eh)
Only if for a night
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, eh, eh)
Only if for a night
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, eh, eh)
Only if for a night
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, eh, eh)
