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 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 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
