Chelsea Morning Lyrics - Hits - Joni Mitchell

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 ringing 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 curtain, 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 

portait of today 

And the streets are paved with passerby 

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 

Photos 

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
