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 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...
