Goodbye Blue sky
You made me happy for a while
And how you gave me
Your blue smile

Não me venha falar
Na malícia de toda mulher
Cada um sabe a dor
E a delícia
De ser o que é...

Autor: The Cinematic Orchestra
Canção: Banda sonora da curta metragem realizada por Charles Sheeler e Paul Strand (1921), Manhatta



I lost myself on a cool damp night
I gave myself in that misty light (small g)
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 (may be better to say "What I wanted to see"
and be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more than 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? (is coming)
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.

ELKIE BROOKS SINGS THE BEST VERSION OF "LILAC WINE" SHE IS THE ONLY SINGER TO HAVE MAJOR CHART SUCCESS WITH THIS SONG IN 1978. A GREAT VOICE.
