I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colours anymore I want them to turn black.
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes.
I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes.
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black.
With flowers and by 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 I want it painted black.
Maybe then I'll fade a-way 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 forsee this thing happening to you.
If I look hard e-nough in-to the setting sun
My love will laugh with me be-fore the morning comes.
hmmm... (Fade out)
That's it and thank you have a lot of fun playing!
