Paint It Black

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I see a red door and I want it painted black

No colours any more 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 walk 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 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 forsee 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 any more 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, don't

wanna see the sun, flying high in the sky.

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted

black, yeah...
