Lilac Wine by Nina Simone

James shelton

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 that 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 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...
