MacArthur Park

Spring was never waiting for us, girl\nIt ran one step ahead\nAs we followed in the dance\nBetween the parted pages and the prayers\nStill love’s hot, fevered iron\nLike a striped pair of pants\nMacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark\nAll the sweet, green icing flowing down\nSomeone left the cake out in the rain\nI don’t think that I can take it\n'Cause it took so long to bake it\nAnd I’ll never have that recipe again, oh noooooo\nI recall the yellow cotton dress\nFoaming like a wave\nOn the ground around your knees\nBirds like tender babies in your hands\nAnd the old men playing checkers, by the trees\nMacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark\nAll the sweet, green icing flowing down\nSomeone left the cake out in the rain\nI don’t think that I can take it\n'Cause it took so long to bake it\nAnd I’ll never have that recipe again, oh noooooo\n(Short instrumental interlude)\nThere would be another song for me\nFor I will sing it\nThere would be another dream for me\nSomeone will bring it\nI will drink the wine while it is warm\nAnd never let you catch me looking at the sun\nAnd after all the loves of my life\nAfter all the loves of my life, you’ll still be the one\nI will take my life into my hands and I will use it\nI will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it\nI will have the things that I desire\nAnd my passion flow like rivers through the sky\nAnd after all the loves of my life\nOh, after all the loves of my life\nI’ll be thinking of you — and wondering why\n(Longer instrumental interlude)\nMacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark\nAll the sweet, green icing flowing down\nSomeone left the cake out in the rain\nI don’t think that I can take it\n'Cause it took so long to bake it\nAnd I’ll never have that recipe again\nOh noooooo, o-oh no-ooooo
