MACARTHUR PARK
Spring was never waiting for us dear It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed
In loves hot fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthurs Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I dont think that I can take it
cause it took so long to bake it
And Ill never have that recipe again Oh no
I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
MacArthurs Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I dont think that I can take it
cause it took so long to bake it
And Ill never have that recipe again Oh no
There will be another song for me For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life Youll still be the one.
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life Youll still be the one
And Ill ask myself why
As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed
In loves hot fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthurs Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I dont think that I can take it
cause it took so long to bake it
And Ill never have that recipe again Oh no
I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
MacArthurs Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I dont think that I can take it
cause it took so long to bake it
And Ill never have that recipe again Oh no
There will be another song for me For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life Youll still be the one.
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life Youll still be the one
And Ill ask myself why
