Lilac Lyrics

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...

It makes me see what I want to see

F*ck was I hungover this morning. Wine tasting last night. Must have been the spirits after the wine. Thank goodness for the Nina Simone CD that had been hiding in the CD case for years without use. I was hungover as said - as I drove to work - and needed something different, a trump card - after having played the hell out all of the other drink in the CD case ( you know - Dylan, Prince, Neil Young...) and Nina came through with this gem - Lilac Wine:



The sound of it, the thought of it, the taste of it, stayed with me all day...
