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 she coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where's my love
Lilac wine, I feel unready, where's my love
Listen to me Why's everything so hazy
Isn't that she or am I just going crazy dear?
Lilac Wine, is sweet and heady, where's my love
I feel unready for my love
