Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
Makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
[Verse 3]
When I think more than I want to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more that 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 she
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 she?
Or am I just going crazy, dear?
[Verse 8]
Lilac wine
I feel unready for my love
Feel unready
For my love
