I lost myself on a cold damm night Give myself in a misty light I was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Put my heart in its recipe Makes me see what I want to see And be who I want to be But when I think more than I ought to think And 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 she coming near here? Lilac wine is sweet and heady Where's my love? Lilac wine, I feel unready 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 is sweet and heady Where's my love? I, I feel unready For my love
