Lyrics

Lilac Wine - Words and Music by James Shelton

I lost myself on a cool damp.
I gave myself in the misty light;
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under the 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 ought to think,
I do things I never should do.
I drink more than I want 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 she, coming to me,
Nearly, here.

Lilac wine
Is sweet and heady
Like my live.
Lilac wine
I feel unsteady,
Where’s my love.

Listen to me,
Why’s everything so hazy?
Isn’t that she,
Or am I just going crazy?

Lilac wine,
I feel unready,
For my love.
[I] feel unready,
For my love.
