Chelsea Morning |
| 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 a-reeling up like Christmas bells, and 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 |
| Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw |
| Was the sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on the 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 |
| Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today |
| And the streets are paved with passersby |
| And pigeons fly |
| And papers lie |
| Waiting to blow away |
| Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew |
| There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges, too |
| And the sun poured in like butterscotch and 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 candlelight |
| By jewel-light |
| If only you will stay |
| Pretty baby, won’t you |
| Wake up, it’s a Chelsea morning |
