Chelsea Blue - Terry Callier

I was just remembering

Seeing Chelsea every spring

Tender words and tender sighs

That special look in Chelsea’s eyes

Wasn’t there for me

One day I took Chelsea’s hand

And tried to make her understand

She only saw me as a friend

On the outside looking in

What a place to be

The music we could have made together

Is some forgotten melody

La-la-la

I was content to play my part

The one who watches Chelsea’s heart

In spite of all that I could do

Someone else made Chelsea blue

No more fantasy

So I’ll never understand

The ways of fate — the master plan

Here’s the dark and there’s the light

Two ships passing in the night and nothing left for me

The music we should have made together

Is some unfinished symphony

La-la-la

If I’d been clever — we’d be together

And I would never see Chelsea blue
