Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I lost myself on a cool, damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
[Verse 2]
I made a 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
[Verse 3]
When I think more than I ought to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you
[Verse 4]
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Like my love
[Verse 5]
Listen to me
I cannot see clearly
Isn't that he coming to me?
Nearly here
[Verse 6]
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Where's my love?
[Verse 7]
Listen to me
Why's everything so hazy?
Isn't that he or am I going crazy, dear?
Lilac wine, I think I'm ready for my love
