[Verse]
I lost myself on a cool, damp night
I gave myself in that misty light
I was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
I put my heart in its recipe
'Cause it makes me see what I want to see
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 than I ought to drink
'Cause it brings me back you

[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
Lilac wine, yes, yes so sweet and heady, where's my love?
Lilac wine, yes, you make me feel unsteady, where's my love?
Where's my love? Where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy?
[Outro]
Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love
Feel unready for my love
