 LIPSTICK SUNSET - 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 love a-waiting  in the dawn somewhere  to wonder  why
 By the end of the day  all her  sweet dreams  would fade
 To a lipstick sunset
 And the radio was playing and that old 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
 <slide solo="">
 Well it's pretty as a picture, 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
 But 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,  and I'll make  my getaway
 To  a lipstick  sunset
