Only If for a Night (Live) [MTV Unplugged, 2012]

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)

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 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

The grass was so green against my new clothes

And I did cartwheels in your honor, dancing on tip toes

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 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

My doe, my dear, my darling

Tell me what all this sighing's about

Tell me what 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

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Only if for a night (Oh)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Only if for a night (Oh)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Only if for an earth (Oh)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Only if for a knife (Oh)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Only if for an earth (Oh)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Only if for a night (Oh)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Only if for an earth (Oh)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Only if for a night (Oh)

Ooh
