Theres a lipstick sunset
Smeared across the august sky
Theres a bitter sweet perfume
Hanging in the fields
The creek is running high
And I left my lover waiting
In the dawn somewhere to wonder why
By the end of the day
All her sweet dreams would fade
To a lipstick sunset
Well, a radio was playing
And that ol 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 couldnt 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 its pretty as a picture baby
Red and blushing just before the night
Maybe loves like that for me
Maybe I can only see
As you take away the light
So 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
When I make my getaway
To a lipstick sunset
There will come another day
Then Ill make my getaway
To a lipstick sunset
