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 |
