I see a red door and I want it paint-ed black
- No col-ours an-y-more, I want them to turn black
- I see the girls walk by dressed in their sum--mer clothes
I have to turn my head un-til my dark--ness goes
I see a line of cars and they�re all paint-ed black
- With flow-ers and my love, both nev-er to come back
- I see peo-ple turn their heads and quick-ly look - a-way
Like a new-born ba-by, it just hap-pens ev-e-ry day
I look in-side my-self and see my heart is black
- I see my red door, I must have it paint-ed black
- May-be then I�ll fade a-way and not have to face - the facts
It�s not eas-y fac--ing up when your whole world - is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deep-er blue
- I could not fore-see this thing hap-pen-ing to you
- If I look hard e-nough in-to the set--ting sun
My love will laugh with me be-fore the mor--ning comes
I see a red door and I want it paint-ed black
- No col-ours an-y-more I want them to turn black
- I see the girls walk by dressed in their sum--mer clothes
I have to turn my head un-til my dark--ness goes
Aah-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa

Aah-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa
Aah-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa
I wan-na see your face paint-ed black, black as night, black as coal I wan-na see the sun,
blot-ted out from the sky I wan-na see it paint-ed, paint-ed, paint-ed, paint-ed black, yeah
