Lilac Wine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 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 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
