Emiliana Torrini Chelsea Morning Lyrics

Chelsea Morning Lyrics

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 ringing 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, 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 orangejuice too,

And the sun poured in like butterscotch,

And
stuck to all my senses.

Oh, wont you stay we'll put on the day,

And
we'll talk in present tenses.



When the cuntain closes,

And
the rainbow runs away,

I will bring you incense owls by night,

By
candlelight, by two jewellight

If only you will stay.

Pretty baby
won't you.

Wake up, it is a Chelsea morning
