lilac wine

i lost myself on a cool damp night

i 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 it's 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 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 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

feel unready

for my love
