Chelsea Morning Songtext
von Marian Call

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 word
And it came a-ringin′ up like Christmas bells
And a-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 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 passers-by
And pigeons fly and papers lie
A-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
