Chelsea Morning

Intro Verse 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? We'll put on the day And we'll wear it 'till the night comes Verse 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 Bridge Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today And the streets are paved with passers by And pigeons fly and papers lie, just waiting to blow away Verse Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew There was milk and toast and barley, and a bowl of oranges too And the light 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 Bridge Now 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 N.C. Pretty baby, won't you Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning
