I woke up, it was a Chelsea morningAnd the first thing that I heardWas a song outside my windowThe traffic wrote the wordsIt came ringing up like Christmas bellsRapping up like pipes and drumsOh, won't you stay we'll put on the dayAnd we'll wear it 'till the night comesI woke up, it was a Chelsea morningAnd the first thing that I sawWas the sun through yellow curtainsAnd a rainbow on my wallBlue, red, green and gold to welcome youCrimson crystal beads to beckonOh, won't you stay we'll put on the dayThere's a sun show every secondNow the curtain opens on a portrait of todayAnd the streets are paved with passersbyPigeons fly, and papers lieWaiting to blow awayI woke up, it was a Chelsea morningAnd the first thing that I knewThere was milk and toast and honeyAnd a bowl of orange juice tooAnd the light poured in like butterscotchStuck to all my sensesOh, won't you stay we'll put on the dayAnd we'll talk in present tensesWhen the contain closesAnd the rainbow runs awayI will bring you incense owls by nightBy jewel light, by candlelight, if only you will stayOh my darling won't you wake up, it is a Chelsea morning
