Lilac Wine

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 that 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 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
