Paint It Black - The Clarks

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

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 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 want to see it painted, painted black

Black as night, black as coal

I want to see the sun blotted out from the sky

I want to see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Yeah
