Lilac Wine

Lyrics

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 than I ought to drink
 Because It brings me back to 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 I'm steady, where's my love?
 Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
 Isn't that he, or am I just going crazy, dear?
 Lilac Wine, I feel I'm ready for my love
 Feel I'm ready for my love
 
 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 than I ought to drink
 Because It brings me back to 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 I'm steady, where's my love?
 Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
 Isn't that he, or am I just going crazy, dear?
 Lilac Wine, I feel I'm ready for my love
 Feel I'm ready for my love
