Lyrics - Lilac Wine by 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 it’s 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.
