LIPSTICK SUNSET - John Hiatt

 There's a lipstick sunset smeared across the August sky

 There's a bitter sweet perfume hanging in the fields

 The creek is running high

 And I left my love a-waiting in the dawn somewhere to wonder why

 By the end of the day all her sweet dreams would fade

 To a lipstick sunset

And the radio was playing and that old summer heat was on the rise

I just had to get away before some sad old song

Brought tears to my eyes

And Lord I couldn't tell her that her love was only killing me

By the end of the day all her sweet dreams would fade

To a lipstick sunset

Well it's pretty as a picture, red and blushing, just before the night

Maybe love's like that for me,

Maybe I can only see as you take away the light

But hold me in the darkness - we can dream about the cool twilight

Til the dawning of the day when I make my getaway

To a lipstick sunset

  There will come another day, and I'll make my getaway

 To a lipstick sunset
