Nina Simone - Lilac Wine Lyrics
James sheltonI lost myself on a cool damp nightGave myself in that misty lightWas hypnotized by a strange delightUnder a lilac treeI made wine from the lilac treePut my heart in its recipeIt makes me see what I want to see...And be what I want to beWhen I think more than I want to thinkDo things I never should doI drink much more that I ought to drinkBecause I brings me back you...Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my loveLilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my loveListen to me... I cannot see clearlyIsnt 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...
