I lost myself on a cool damp nightI Gave myself in that misty lightWas hypnotized by a strange delightUnder a lilac treeI made wine from the lilac treePut my heart in its recipeIt makes me see what I want to seeand be what I want to beWhen I think more than I want to thinkI do things I never should doI drink much more than I ought to drinkBecause it brings me back you...Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my loveLilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my loveListen to me... I cannot see clearlyIsn'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.
