Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine (Live)

(Words by J. Shelton / Performed by Nina Simone) I lost myself on a cool damp night I 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 that I ought to drink Because it 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, Where's my love Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, Where's my love Listen to me, why is everything so hazy Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love Feel unready, for my love.
