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

Do things I never should do

I drink much more that 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
