Chelsea Mornin` — текст песни (Emiliana Torrini)

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!
