I see a red door,
and I want it painted black
No colors anymore,
I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed
in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars
and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love,
both never to come back...
I see people turn their heads
and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby
it just happens ev'ryday
I look inside myself
and see my heart is black
I see my red door
I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away
and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up
when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you...
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door
and I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed
in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm...
I want to see it painted, painted black,
black as night, black as coal
I want to see the sun,
blotted out from the sky
I want to see it
painted, painted, painted,
painted black, yeah
hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm...
