Joni Mitchell - Chelsea Morning

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 reeling 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 portrait 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
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 reeling 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 portrait 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
