[ti:Chelsea Morning (LP Version)]

[00:02.33]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
