Joni Mitchell – Chelsea Morning Lyrics  Share

From Joni Mitchell's album: Clouds

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 a-reeling 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 curtains, 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 portrait of today
And the streets are paved with passersby
And pigeons fly
[ Chelsea Morning lyrics from

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

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
