I bought you a light blue T-shirt last night From some band I couldn't stand But theirlogo's alright Some kid threw a bottle on stage He had an arm like a pro I know it's getting late I guess Ishould let you go But did I happen tosay hey? I've been writing you a road song Don't run away, 'causehey I promise it won't betoo long I know it's not what you call necessary AndI know that I'm no Steve Perry But even if you roll your eyes and groan I'm still writing you a road song That you can call yourown

I see a red door and I want it painted blackNo 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 blackWith flowers and my love both never to come backI see people turn their heads and quickly look awayLike a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is blackI see my red door and it has been painted blackMaybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blueI 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 painted blackNo 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
Hmm, hmm, hmm,... Hmm, hmm, hmm,... Hmm, hmm, hmm,... Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted blackBlack as night, black as coal I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear? Angie,Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats You can't say we're satisfied . But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said goodbye? Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke. Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said goodbye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats You can't say we're satisfied .
But Angie, I still love you, baby Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes There ain't a woman that comes close to you Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie,ain't it good to be alive? Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried
oh my love my darling I've hungered for your touch A long and lonely time. And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine
I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow To the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea Lonely rivers sigh Wait for me, wait for me I'll be coming home Wait for me
oh my love my darling I've hungered for your touch A long and lonely time. And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine
