Verse 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...
