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

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted black
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted 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 will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted high
Blotted high out in the sky
The sky painted black
