And pictures fly and papers lie just waiting to blow away
Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
There was milk, and toast, and honey, and a bowl of oranges too
By candle-light, by jewel-light if only you will stay
Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day and we'll wear it till the night comes
I'll bring you incense owls by night
Woke up big this Chelsea morning and the first thing that I saw
Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day there's a sun-show every second
Now the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
Was the sun through yellow curtains and a rainbow on my wall
Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day and we'll talk in present tenses
And the streets are paved with passers-by
Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you crimson, crystal peaks to beckon
And the light poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses
Woke up big this Chelsea morning and the first thing that I knew
It came ringing up like Christmas bells and rapping up like pipes and drums
