Paint It, Black

from Find The One by The Coal Porters

lyrics

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 new born 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 settin' sun
My love will laugh with me
before the mornin' 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 go by
dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
