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 end of the day
I can make my getaway
To a lipstick sunset
Til the end of the day
I can make my getaway
To a lipstick sunset
There will come another day
Then I'll make my getaway
To a 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 end of the day I can make my getaway To a lipstick sunset Til the end of the day I can make my getaway To a lipstick sunset There will come another day Then I'll make my getaway To a lipstick sunset Explain Request ×
