Lyrics

I see that red door and I want to paint it black
No colours anymore, I want to turn them black
I see those girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until the darkness goes
I see that line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers for my love who never will come back
See people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, now it happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see that red door and I want to paint it black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
Not easy facin' 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 settin' sun
My love and I will laugh before the mornin' come
I see that red door and I want to paint it black
No colours anymore, I want to turn them black
I see those girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until the darkness goes
I see her face, I see her face so painted black
I see her face, I see her face so painted black
I see her face, I see her face so painted black
I see her face, I see her face so painted black
