JOHN HIATT lyrics : "Lipstick Sunset"

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 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 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 baby

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





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 I'll make my getaway

To a lipstick sunset
