Jeff Buckly - Lilac Wine
from the album "Grace"
from the album "Mystery White Boy" (live)

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 much I never should done
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 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
