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 up like christmas bells
and rapping up like pipes and drums
oh, won't you stay
ae'll put on the day
and we'll wear it 'til 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?
woke up, it is a chelsea morning!
