Lyrics

Lilac Wine

[Verse 1: Arooj Aftab] I lost myself on a cool, damp night Gave myself to the 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 I do things I never should do I drink much more than I ought to drink Because it brings me back you [Chorus: Arooj Aftab] Lilac wine is sweet and heady Where's my love? Lilac wine, I feel unsteady Where's my love? [Post-Chorus: Arooj Aftab] Listen to me Why is everything so hazy? Isn't that she Or am I just going crazy? [Verse 2: Arooj Aftab & Beck] I lost myself on that cold damp night Gavе myself to that misty light Was hypnotised by the strangе delight Under that lilac tree [Chorus: Arooj Aftab, Beck, & Both] Lilac wine (Lilac wine) Is sweet (It is sweet) and heady Wheres my love? (Wine) I feel unready For my love Feel I’m ready For my love
