Paint it Black Lyrics

I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors 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
And I want 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 at me
Until my morning comes

I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black

I want to see your face
Painted black
Black as night

I wanna see the sun flying high
In the sky

I wanna see it painted
Painted, painted
Painted black
I wanna see it painted
Painted, painted
Painted black
