Chelsea Morning (Live)

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

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 portait 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

Wake up it's a Chelsea morning
