Lilac Wine

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

I do things I never should do

I drink much more than 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
