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 I 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 he 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 he, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac Wine, I feel unready

for my love...
