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 I 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 Feel unready for my love
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of you please don’t take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green Your smile is like a breath of spring Your voice is soft like summer rain And I cannot compete with you Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep And there’s nothing I can do to keep From crying when he calls your name Jolene
And I can easily understand How you could easily take my man But you don’t know what he means to me Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of you please don’t take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men But I could never love again He’s the only one for me Jolene
I had to have this talk with you My happiness depends on you And whatever you decide to do Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of you please don’t take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him even though you can Jolene, Jolene
Oscar award’s nomination, I think it’s the best one in all of the others.
Lyrics
Sing to me softly your tales of woe I’ll cradle you closely, I won’t let go I’ll speak to you gently of what I know Don’t you cry
Lay your head down, darling The moon is sailing by The stars are softly shining The tide is full and high
We’ll fly to the edge, not as distant as it seems And maybe we’ll find out the key to your dreams So you just lay your head down, darling Sleep now, la-la-la-la-la
Winds blow, rains fall But it’s warm by the fire’s light Hush, don’t you see you’re here with me? And there’s dawn at the end of the night
Lay your head down, darling The moon is sailing by The stars are softly shining The tide is full and high
We’ll fly to the edge, not as distant as it seems And maybe we’ll find out the key to your dreams So you just lay your head down, darling Sleep now, la-la-la-la-la
Well I didn’t see much future When I left the Christian brothers school So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile And I left the girls of Tuam And sometimes when I’m reminiscing I see the prefabs and my old friends And I know that they’ll be changed or gone By the time I get home again
And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Well the ould fella left me to Shannon Was the last time I travelled that road and as I turned left at Claregalway I could feel a lump in my throat As I pictured the thousands of times That I travelled that well worn track And I know that things would be different If I ever decide to go back
And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Now as I tumble down highways Or filthy overcrowded trains There’s no one to talk to in transit So I sit there and daydream in vain And behind all these muddled up problems Of living on a foreign soil I can still see the twists and turns on the road From the square to the town of the tribes
And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
