Lyrics Chelsea Blue - Terry Callier

Chelsea Blue

I was just remembering
Seeing Chelsea every spring
Tender words and tender sighs
That special look in Chelsea’s eyes
Wasn’t there for me
One day I took Chelsea’s hand
And tried to make her understand
She only saw me as a friend
On the outside looking in
What a place to be
The music we could have made together
Is some forgotten melody
La-la-la
I was content to play my part
The one who watches Chelsea’s heart
In spite of all that I could do
Someone else made Chelsea blue
No more fantasy
So I’ll never understand
The ways of fate — the master plan
Here’s the dark and there’s the light
Two ships passing in the night and nothing left for me
The music we should have made together
Is some unfinished symphony
La-la-la
If I’d been clever — we’d be together
And I would never see Chelsea blue
