[Verse 1]
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 who I want to be
When I think more than I ought to think
And do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you

[Verse 2]
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady
Like my love
Listen me, I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she, coming near here

[Verse 3]
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unready
Where's my love?
Listen to me
Why is everything so hazy
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
[Verse 4]
Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Where's my love?
I, I feel unready for my love
