I lost myself on a
cool damp night
I gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from
the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you
Lilac wine is sweet
and heady,
Like my love
Lilac
wine, I feel unsteady,
Like my love
Listen to me, I
cannot see clearly
Isn't that she, coming to me
Nearly here
Lilac wine is sweet
and heady,
Where's my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,
Where's my love
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear
Lilac wine, I feel
unready for my love
Feel
unready, for my love.
