I lost myself on a cold damm night
Give myself in a misty light
I was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
Makes me see what I want to see
And be who I want to be

But when I think more than I ought to think
And do things I never should do
I drink much more than 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 near here?

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?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady
Where's my love?
I, I feel unready
For my love
