Lilac Wine - Bottled by Elkie Brooks

It's around noon on a weekday. I need "drink" but cannot drink at this hour. I drink a lot and behave a bit crazy sometimes but - God Dammit - I do have some discipline.

So - what can I reach for? What can I turn to?

How about another dose of Lilac Wine - by a different producer?

Thanks for the recommend, Pinot:



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
Isnt that she coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady wheres my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, wheres my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isnt that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love...

  2. Your vote has been counted. Though I say that Nina's version is ten times better.
