Chelsea Morning
I woke up it was a Chelsea morning
And the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window
And the traffic wrote the words
It came ringing in like Christmas bells
Rapping up like pipes and drums
Oh won't you stay we'll put on the day
And we'll wear it till the night comes
I woke up it was a Chelsea morning
And the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains
And a rainbow on my wall
Blue, red, green, and gold to welcome you
Crimson crystal beads to beckon
Oh won't you stay we'll put on the day
There's a sun show every second
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Now the curtains opens on a portrait of today
And the streets are paved with passers-by
Pigeons fly and papers lie
Waiting to blow away
I woke up it was a Chelsea morning
The first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey
And a bowl of oranges too
And the light poured in like butterscotch
Stuck to all my senses
Oh won't you stay we'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses
When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
I will bring you incense owls by night
By jewel light by candlelight if only you will stay
Oh my darling
Won't you wake up it's a Chelsea morning
And the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window
And the traffic wrote the words
It came ringing in like Christmas bells
Rapping up like pipes and drums
Oh won't you stay we'll put on the day
And we'll wear it till the night comes
I woke up it was a Chelsea morning
And the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains
And a rainbow on my wall
Blue, red, green, and gold to welcome you
Crimson crystal beads to beckon
Oh won't you stay we'll put on the day
There's a sun show every second
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Now the curtains opens on a portrait of today
And the streets are paved with passers-by
Pigeons fly and papers lie
Waiting to blow away
I woke up it was a Chelsea morning
The first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey
And a bowl of oranges too
And the light poured in like butterscotch
Stuck to all my senses
Oh won't you stay we'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses
When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
I will bring you incense owls by night
By jewel light by candlelight if only you will stay
Oh my darling
Won't you wake up it's a Chelsea morning
