Lipstick Sunset Lyrics - 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 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 

Photos 

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
