Chelsea Morning Lyrics

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 a reelin' up
Like Christmas bells
And rappin' up
Like pipes and drums

Oh, won't you stay
We'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 todayJoni Mitchell - Chelsea Morning - http://motolyrics.com/joni-mitchell/chelsea-morning-lyrics.html
And the streets
Are paved with passersby

And pigeons fly
And papers lie
Waitin' 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
Wake up, it's a Chelsea Morning
