Lyrics for Lilac Wine

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
