Chelsea Morning (1997)

I woke up, it was a Chelsea morning

And the first thing that I heard

Was a song outside my window

The traffic wrote the words

It came ringing up like Christmas bells

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

I woke up, it was a Chelsea morning

And the first thing that I saw

Was the sun through yellow curtains

And a rainbow on my 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 today

And the streets are paved with passersby

Pigeons fly, and papers lie

Waiting to blow away

I 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 orange juice too

And the light poured in like butterscotch

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 contain closes

And the rainbow runs away

I will bring you incense owls by night

By jewel light, by candlelight, if only you will stay

Oh my darling won't you wake up, it is a Chelsea morning
