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   Lost my heart in its recipe   It made me see what I want to see   And be what I want to be      But I think more than I ought to think   I 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 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 just going crazy?      Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love   Feel unready for my love
