Lilac Wine (MTV Europe, Eurockéenes Festival, Belfort, 7/9/95) Songtext
von Jeff Buckley

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
Makes me see what I want to see
Be what I want to be

When I think more than I wanna 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 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, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac wine
I feel unready for my love
Feel unready
For my love
