macarthur park
Spring was never waiting for us, girl  It ran one step ahead  As we followed in the dance  Between the parted pages and were pressed  In love's hot, fevered iron  Like a striped pair of pants   MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark  All the sweet, green icing flowing down  Someone left the cake out in the rain  I don't think that I can take it  'Cause it took too long to bake it  And I'll never have that recipe again  Oh, no!   I still see the yellow cotton dress  Foaming like a wave  On the ground around your knees  And the birds, like tender babies in your hands  And the old men playing checkers by the trees   MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark  All the sweet, green icing flowing down  Someone left the cake out in the rain  I don't think that I can take it  'Cause it took so long to bake it  And I'll 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  You'll 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 and the sky  And after all the loves of my life  After all the love of my life  You still be the one You keep wondering wanna know why   MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark  All the sweet, green icing flowing down  Someone left the cake out in the rain  I don't think that I can take it  It took so long to bake it  And I'll never have that recipe again  Oh, no!  Oh, no
