Wow...again

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 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...

Elkie Brooks, Jeff Buckley, Nina Simone and now this version...from The Cinematic Orchestra.  They change the lyrics slighty but it's meaning is still intact.  In almost any rendition this song is beautifully haunting.  An amazingly written song that can only be performed by true artists.  Elegant, blissful, sad and honest.  Like I said...amazing.
