Song 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, they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see little people turn their heads and look away
Just like a newborn baby, it happens everyday

I look inside myself, see my heart is black
I see my red door and I see it's painted black
I see little girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head, until my darkness goes

No more little 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
I see it painted black, I see it painted black
I see it painted, painted, it's all painted black

Keith Richards, Michael Jagger
