And the first thing that I knew
And a bowl of oranges too
Oh, won’t you stay
We’ll put on the day
Publisher: CRAZY CROW MUSIC
By candlelight
Blue, red, green
Like pipes and drums
Every second
Songwriter: Joni Mitchell
To beckon
If only you will stay
Was a song outside my window
And gold to welcome you
And the streets
And stuck
And pigeons fly
It came a reelin' up
And the rainbow runs away
Crimson crystal beads
I will bring you incense owls by night
And the traffic wrote the words
On a portrait of today
There was milk and toast and honey
By jewel-light
Oh, won’t you stay
And we’ll talk
To all my senses
Woke up, it was a Chelsea Morning
In present tenses
Are paved with passersby
And the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains
And rappin' up
Woke up, it was a Chelsea Morning
Woke up, it was a Chelsea Morning
Wake up, it’s a Chelsea Morning
And the sun poured
And a rainbow on the wall
And papers lie
’Til the night comes
We’ll put on the day
Like Christmas bells
When the curtain closes
Oh, won’t you stay
Pretty baby, won’t you
And the first thing that I heard
Waitin' to blow away
In like butterscotch
There’s a sun show
Now the curtain opens
And we’ll wear it
We’ll put on the day
