I see a red door, I wanna paint it black
No colours any more, I want them to turn black
I seen the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see your lines of colours 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 new born baby just happens everyday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe now I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing 'em 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 settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky

I see a red door, I wanna paint it black
No colours any more, I want them to turn black
I seen the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm
