I see your red door
And I want to paint it 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
Never see the sight of me
That changes every day

I want you to paint it black

No more will my dream's eagle
Turn a deeper blue… handcuffed
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 look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see my red door
And it has been painted black

Paint it black
As night, black as tar
Wanna see the sun blotted outside
Paint it black
