Paint It, Black

Mmm-mm-mm-mm mmm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mm

I see your red door, 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 everyday
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 want to see it painted, painted
Painted black black as night, black as coal
I want to see the sun
Blotted out from the sky)

I see your red door, I want it painted black
(I want to see it painted, painted
Painted black black as night, black as coal)
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
(I want to see the sun, blotted
Out from the sky, the sky, the sky)
I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
(I want to see it painted, painted
Painted black black as night, black as coal)
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
(I want to see the sun
Blotted out from the sky)

Mmm-mm-mm-mm mmm-mm-mm-mm
