Lyrics

[00:04.60] I lost myself on a cool damp night
[00:08.96] Gave myself in that misty light
[00:12.74] Was hypnotized by a strange delight
[00:17.20] Under a lilac tree
[00:22.86] I made wine from the lilac tree
[00:27.76] Put my heart in its recipe
[00:31.55] It makes me see what I want to see
[00:35.90] and be what I want to be
[00:43.53] When I think more than I want to think
[00:43.96] Do things I never should do
[00:50.23] I drink much more that I ought to drink
[00:57.09] Because (it) brings me back you...
[01:14.27] Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
[01:16.67]
[01:40.86] Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
[02:01.62] Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
[02:09.32] Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
[02:26.24] Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
[02:46.98] Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
[03:11.73] Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
[03:19.90] Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
[03:33.92] Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love..
