That Bad Eartha: Lilac Wine - Eartha Kitt

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 it’s recipe

It makes me see what I want to see

And be who I want to be

When I think more than I ought to think

And 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 me, I cannot see clearly

Isn’t that she, coming near here

Lilac wine is sweet and heady

Where’s my love

Lilac wine, I feel unready

Where’s my love

Listen me, why is everything so hazy

Isn’t that she, or am I just going crazy, dear

Lilac wine is sweet and heady

Where’s my love

I, I feel unready for my love
