Lilac Wine

(Nina Simone)

(...)

And 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

~*~

(in)...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 he coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady

where's my love?

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, 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 unready for my love,

feel unready for my love.
