Lilac Wine lyrics
Song information
Artist: Jeff Buckley Album: Grace
Lyrics
(J. shelton) Originally performed by elkie brooks, but actually inspired to the version sung by nina simone
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? (but) I think more than I want to think Do things I never should do I drink much more than I ought to drink Because (it) brings me back ?you? (in)..
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
