Strum
D-DU-UDU
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  I 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,  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
 I feel unready  for  my love...
