There's a lipstick sunsetSmeared across the August skyThere's a bitter sweet perfumeHanging in the fieldsThe creek is running highAnd I left my lover waitingIn the dawn somewhere to wonder whyBy the end of the dayAll her sweet dreams would fadeTo a lipstick sunsetWell, a radio was playingAnd that ol' summer heat was on the riseI just had to get awayBefore some sad old songBrought tears to my eyesAnd Lord I couldn't tell herThat her love was only killing meBy the end of the dayAll her sweet dreams would fadeTo a lipstick sunsetWell it's pretty as a picture babyRed and blushing just before the nightMaybe love's like that for meMaybe I can only seeAs you take away the lightSo hold me in the darknessWe can dream about the cool twilight'Til the dawning of the dayWhen I make my getawayTo a lipstick sunsetThere will come another dayWhen I make my getawayTo a lipstick sunsetThere will come another dayThen I'll make my getawayTo a lipstick sunset
