Paint It Black Lyrics

Anvil Paint It Black

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours 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
Oooh yeah

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 newborn baby, it just happens everyday

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 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 looked hard enough into the setting sun
My love would laugh at me before the morning comes
Oooh yeah

-Verse 1-

Paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
