La protagonista di questa canzone bellissima forse non è necessariamente una donna. L'hanno cantata Jeff Buckley e molti altri, sostituendo il verso "Isn't that she, coming to me" con "he" a seconda dell'interprete, che fosse un uomo o una donna. Come la canta Nina Simone e come la sento io, però, soprattutto in questi giorni -non so- mi suggestiona molto e mi fa pensare a un'ebbrezza tutta femminile.
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 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.
