Lilac Wine Songtext
von Benjamin Herman

I lost myself on a cool damp night
I gave myself in a misty light
Hypnotized by a strange delight
Under the lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
I put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
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


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 to me, nearly here?
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 she?
Am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac wine, I feel I'm ready
For my love
Feel I′m ready for my love
