florence + the machine'in ceremonials albümünün açılış şarkısıdır.
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
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 loosened,
i was set alight,
but you came over me like some holy light,
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 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 loosened,
i was set alight,
but you came over me like some holy light,
and although i was burning,
you're the only light.
only if for a night.
ooohh,
oooohhh,
woah-woah-woah.
my darling, 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 so surreal,
that a ghost should be so practical.
