Nina Simone — Lilac Wine

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 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 than 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 he 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 he, or am I goin' crazy, dear? Lilac Wine, I feel I'm ready for my love Feel I'm ready for my love
