JONI MITCHELL - Chelsea Morning lyrics
rate meWoke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I heard<br>Was a song outside my window, and the traffic wrote the words<br>It came a-reeling up like christmas bells, and rapping up like pipes and drums<br><br>Oh, won't you stay<br>We'll put on the day<br>And we'll wear it 'till the night comes<br><br>Woke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw<br>Was the sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on the wall<br>Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal beads to beckon<br><br>Oh, won't you stay<br>We'll put on the day<br>There's a sun show every second<br><br>Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today<br>And the streets are paved with passersby<br>And pigeons fly<br>And papers lie<br>Waiting to blow away<br><br>Woke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew<br>There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges, too<br>And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses<br>Oh, won't you stay<br>We'll put on the day<br>And we'll talk in present tenses<br><br>When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away<br>I will bring you incense owls by night<br>By candlelight<br>By jewel-light<br>If only you will stay<br>Pretty baby, won't you<br>Wake up, it's a chelsea morning
