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 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
