[Verse 1]
I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree
Lost my heart in its recipe
It made me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be

But I think more than I ought to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you

[Chorus 1]
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Oh lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
Isn't that he coming to me, nearly here?

[Chorus 2]
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 he, or am I going crazy, dear?
[Outro]
Lilac Wine, I feel I'm ready for my love
Feel I'm ready for my love
