I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours 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 every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, and I had it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away
and not have to face the facts
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 colours 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 wanna see ya baby, paint it black, black as
night
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see ya paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it
black
