Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I heard |
[00:16.97] |
Was a song outside my window, and the traffic wrote the words |
[00:22.21] |
It came a-reeling up like Christmas bells, and rapping up like pipes and drums |
[00:31.53] |
|
[00:31.98] |
Oh, won't you stay |
[00:33.97] |
We'll put on the day |
[00:35.11] |
And we'll wear it 'till the night comes |
[00:39.73] |
|
[00:42.51] |
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw |
[00:47.10] |
Was the sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on the wall |
[00:51.98] |
Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal beads to beckon |
[01:01.58] |
|
[01:02.18] |
Oh, won't you stay |
[01:03.43] |
We'll put on the day |
[01:05.18] |
There's a sun show every second |
[01:12.60] |
|
[01:13.10] |
Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today |
[01:16.63] |
And the streets are paved with passersby |
[01:19.52] |
And pigeons fly |
[01:21.11] |
And papers lie |
[01:22.65] |
Waiting to blow away |
[01:32.77] |
|
[01:33.41] |
Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew |
[01:37.30] |
There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges, too |
[01:42.73] |
And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses |
[01:51.80] |
Oh, won't you stay |
[01:53.59] |
We'll put on the day |
[01:55.18] |
And we'll talk in present tenses |
[02:03.95] |
|
[02:05.59] |
When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away |
[02:07.69] |
I will bring you incense owls by night |
[02:10.73] |
By candlelight |
[02:12.13] |
By jewel-light |
[02:13.57] |
If only you will stay |
[02:17.01] |
Pretty baby, won't you |
[02:19.36] |
Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning |
