i see a red door and i want it painted black
no colours anymore i want them to turn black
i see the girls walk 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 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
4
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 walk by dressed in their summer clothes
i have to turn my head until my darkness goes
i wanna see your face painted black
black as night black as coal
i wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
i wanna see it painted painted painted painted black
yeah
