Chelsea Morning - Kate McGarry
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   stay
We'll put on the day
And well 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   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
Papers lie
Waiting to blow away
Oh  away
Woke up  it was a chelsea morning
Oh oh oh oh
Lai lai lai lai lai
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Woke up  it was a chelsea morning
And the first thing that I knew
There was tilk and toast
And honey and a bowl of oranges  too
And the sun poured in like butterscotch
And stuck to all my senses
Oh  stay
We'll put on the day
And well 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
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Stay
Wake up  it's a chelsea morning
