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

and be what i want to be

when i think more than want to think
and do things i never should do
i drink much more than 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
isnt that she coming to me
nearly here

Lilac wine is sweet and heady wheres my love
lilac wine i feel unsteady wheres my love

listen to me why is everything so hazy
isnt that she or am i just going crazy

lilac wine i feel unready for my love
feel unready for my love
