lilac blowing through the warm summer air
sun is setting and the crows all cry
electrical storm forming in the sky
got a hurt inside that i just gotta heal
day is dying and the night is born
baby don't leave me so lovelorn
a hungry dog howls through the trees
it echoes long on the lilac breeze
a blackbird sings a song so sad
the only thing we need to do
know it comes from the heart
you and me got something to start
a hungry dog howls through the trees
it echoes long on the lilac breeze
a blackbird sings a song so sad
lilac blowing in the warm summer breeze
floating so soft with the cries in the trees
sun is setting and the day is dead
how can i get it through your pretty little head
a hungry dog howls through the trees
it echoes long on the lilac breeze
a blackbird sings a song so sad
