Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine lyrics

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 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.
