Thanks to Ozbrat ;D

Originally performed by Elkie Brooks, but Buckley's version was inspired to the version sung 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
Isnt that she, coming to me
Nearly here

Lilac wine is sweet and heady,
Wheres my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,
Wheres my love

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy
Isnt that she, or am I just going crazy, dear

Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love
Feel unready, for my love.

I can't access it Dede. Is this Damien's version - I hope so because I tried uploading my video yesterday but got nowhere.

[Womby]

Oh good. That means I don't have to persist with my version. Thanks Oz!

[OzBrat]

There was no need to upload it Dede - it's sitting on my server so there shouldn't be any problems with download limits ;D

Ohh... there's something so eerily beautiful about that, thanks so much Oz.

Thanks for that Dede. Listening to this is the next best thing to actually being at the Tribute. Damien's version is just as good as Jeff Buckley's, and just as hauntingly beautiful. I wonder if he will ever record it. I do hope so.
