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 Why is everything so hazy? Isn't that he, or am I just going crazy? Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love, Feel unready for my love.
