Elkie Brooks

Lilac Wine

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

I lost my heart in its recipe

It made me see what I want to see

be what I want to be

But I think more than I ought to think

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 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 going crazy, dear?

Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love,

feel unready for my love.
