I lost myself on a cool damp night br I gave myself in that misty light br Was hypnotized by a strange delight br Under a lilac tree br br I made wine from the lilac tree br Put my heart in its recipe br It makes me see what I want to see br And be what I want to be br br When I think more than I want to think br Do things I never should do br I drink much more that I ought to drink br Because it brings me back you br br Lilac wine is sweet and heady, br Like my love br Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, br Like my love br br Listen to me, I cannot see clearly br Isnt that she, coming to me br Nearly here br br Lilac wine is sweet and heady, br Wheres my love br Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, br Wheres my love br br Listen to me, why is everything so hazy br Isnt that she, or am I just going crazy, dear br br Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love br Feel unready, for my love
