Album: For Love Of The Game

Paint It Black [Jonny Lang]

(written by Mick Jagger Keith Richards)

I see a red door and I want it paint it 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 the people turn their heads and look away
Like a new born baby, it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see a red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away, and not have to face the fact(s)
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

(guitar solo)

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 settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it paint it 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 wanna see you painted black
Black as the night, black
I wanna so black, I can't see
Don't wanna see no more black, painted black, painted black
Oh, yeah, baby
Hmm, hmm, hmm

(guitar solo)
