I lost myself on a cool damp night I gave myself in that misty light (small g) 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 (may be better to say "What I wanted 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? (is coming) 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.
