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
