Lyrics
Woke up, it was Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window
And the traffic wrote the words
It came ringin' out like Christmas bells
And rappin' out like fives and drums
Oh, won't you stay, and we'll put on the day
And we'll wear it 'til the night comes
Woke up, it was Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains
And a rainbow on my wall
You had green and gold to welcome you
And crystal beads to beckon
Oh, won't you stay, and we'll put on the day
There's a sun show every second
Now, the curtain opens on a portrait of today
And streets are paved with passersby
And pigeons fly, and papers lie
Waiting to blow away
Woke up, it was Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey
And a bowl of oranges, too
And the light poured in like butterscotch
And stuck to all my senses
Oh, won't you stay, and 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, pass the knife
By candlelight, I'll hate you alive
If only you will stay
Pretty baby, won't you wake up?
It's a Chelsea mornin'
