Emiliana Torrini - Chelsea Mornin'

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 
		ae`ll put on the day
		and we`ll wear it `til 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 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?

		woke up, it is a chelsea morning!
