Joni Mitchell - Chelsea Morning Lyrics
Woke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I heardWas a song outside my window, and the traffic wrote the wordsIt came a-reeling up like christmas bells, and rapping up like pipes and drumsOh, wont you stayWell put on the dayAnd well wear it till the night comesWoke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I sawWas the sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on the wallBlue, red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal beads to beckonOh, wont you stayWell put on the dayTheres a sun show every secondNow the curtain opens on a portrait of todayAnd the streets are paved with passersbyAnd pigeons flyAnd papers lieWaiting to blow awayWoke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knewThere was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges, tooAnd the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my sensesOh, wont you stayWell put on the dayAnd well talk in present tensesWhen the curtain closes and the rainbow runs awayI will bring you incense owls by nightBy candlelightBy jewel-lightIf only you will stayPretty baby, wont youWake up, its a chelsea morning
