Lipstick Sunset Lyrics

The acoustic guitar here is in dropped-D tuning (DADGBE). NB A tip for
playing it - the top E string is mostly avoided apart from the motif
that connects the verses, which goes something like:
I had a go at tabbing the slide part, but I quickly realised I haven't
a clue about playing slide (which doesn't help when you're trying to
transcibe Ry Cooder!). Does anybody else want to try?- if it's any
help, I'd be reasonably certain that it's in either open D or open E
tuning.
Corrections and comments welcome, as always...
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
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
