Chelsea Morning Lyrics - Live In Ireland - Judy Collins

I woke up, it was a Chelsea morning 

And the first thing that I heard 

Was a song outside my window 

The traffic wrote the words 

It came ringing up like Christmas bells 

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 

I 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 passersby 

Pigeons fly, and papers lie 

Waiting to blow away 

I 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 orange juice too 

And the light poured in like butterscotch 

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 contain closes 

And the rainbow runs away 

I will bring you incense owls by night 

By jewel light, by candlelight, if only you will stay 

Oh my darling won't you wake up, it is a Chelsea morning
