I lost myself on a cool damp night
|
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 than I ought to drink
|
Because I 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 he 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 he, or am I just going crazy, dear?
|
Lilac Wine, I feel unready
|
for my love...
|
