Song Lyrics

Woke up, it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I heard
Was the song outside my window
And the traffic wrote the words
It came ringin' up like Christmas bells
And rappin' up like pipes... and drums...

Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll wear it 'til the night comes

Woke up, it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains
And a rainbow on my wall
Red, green and gold to welcome you
And crimson crystal beads... to beckon...

Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
There's a sun shower every second

Woke up, it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey
And a bowl of oranges too
And the light poured in like butterscotch
And stuck to all my senses...

Won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses

Joni Mitchell
