Lucinda Williams - Paint It Black lyrics
[Lucinda Williams - Paint It Black lyrics]
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 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 newborn baby
It just happens every day
I look inside myself and see
My heart is black i see my red door
I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not
Have to facе the facts
It's not easy facing up when
Your wholе 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
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 until my darkness goes
I wanna see your face, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black yeah
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 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 newborn baby
It just happens every day
I look inside myself and see
My heart is black i see my red door
I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not
Have to facе the facts
It's not easy facing up when
Your wholе 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
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 until my darkness goes
I wanna see your face, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black yeah
