|
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) |
|
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 you came over me like some holy rite |
|
And although I was burning, you're the only light |
|
Only if for a night |
|
And 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 you came over me like some holy rite |
|
And although I was burning, you're the only light |
|
Only if for a night |
|
Madam, my dear, my darling |
|
Tell me what all the sighing's about |
|
Tell me what all the 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 |
