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 what I want to be

 When I think more than I want to think
 Do things I never should do
 I drink much more that 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 [bad word] to me
 Nearly here

 Lilac wine is sweet and heady,
 Where's my love
 Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,
 Where's my love
