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 
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 than I ought to drink 
Because I 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 he 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 he, or am I just going crazy, dear? 
Lilac Wine, I feel unready 
For my love
