lyrics

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,
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 he, 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 he, or am I going crazy, dear?

Lilac wine, I feel I'm ready for my love.
I feel I'm ready for my love.
