Rebecca Luker - Chelsea Morning lyrics
rate meWoke up, it was a Chelsea morning<br />
And the first thing that I heard<br />
Was a song outside my window<br />
And the traffic wrote the words<br />
<br />
It came a-ringing up like Christmas bells<br />
And rapping up like pipes and drums<br />
Oh, won't you stay? 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<br />
And the first thing that I saw<br />
Was the sun through yellow curtains<br />
And a rainbow on the wall<br />
<br />
Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you<br />
Crimson crystal beads to beckon<br />
Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day<br />
Theres 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 and papers lie awaiting to blow away<br />
<br />
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning<br />
And the first thing that I knew<br />
There was milk and toast and honey<br />
And a bowl of oranges, too<br />
<br />
And the sun poured in like butterscotch<br />
And stuck to all my senses<br />
Oh, won't you stay? 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, by jewel light if only you will stay<br />
Pretty baby, won't you wake up, it's a Chelsea morning?
