.....\m .....

I see a red door

and I want it painted black

No colors 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 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

and 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 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

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm,

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm,

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm,

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm,

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm,

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm,

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm,

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm,

I wanna see it painted,

painted black

Black as night,

black as coal

I wanna see the sun

blotted out from the sky

I wanna see it painted,

painted,

painted,

painted black

Yeah!

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm,

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm,
