Lilac Wine Songtext
von Nina Simone

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 than I ought to drink
Because It brings me back to 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 where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel I′m steady, where's my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that he, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac Wine, I feel I′m ready for my love
Feel I′m ready for my love
