U2 paint it black 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 them turn their heads

Quickly look away

Like a newborn baby

It just happens every day





I look inside my self

See my heart is back

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 look hard enough

Into the setting sun,

My love will laugh with me

Before the morning comes





Wanna see it painted

Painted it black

Love is gone

[Repeat and fade until end
