Mac Arthur Park Songtext

Spring was never waiting for us tillit ran one step aheadas we followed in the dance.Between the parted pages we were pressed,in love's hot, fevered ironlike a striped pair of pants.Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the darkall the sweet green icing flowing downsomeone left the cake out in the rainI don't think that I can take it'cause it took so long to bake itand I'll never have that recipe againOh, nooo!I recall the yellow cotton dressfoaming like a waveon the ground beneath your kneesbirds like tender babies in your handsand the old men playing Chinese checkers by the treesMac Arthur Park's is melting in the darkall the sweet green icing flowing downsomeone left the cake out in the rainI don't think that I can take it'cause it took so long to bake itand I'll never have that recipe againOh, nooo!There'll be another song for meand I will sing itthere'll be another dream for mesomeone will bring itI will drink the wine while it is warnand never let you catch me looking at the sun, oh yeahand after all the loves of my lifeafter all loves in my lifeyou'll be the oneI will take my life into my hands and I will use itI will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose itI will have the things that I desireand my passion flow like rivers through the skyoh and after all the loves in my lifeafter all the loves in my lifeyou'll still be the oneand I'll ask myself why.Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the darkall the sweet green icing flowing downsomeone left the cake out in the rainI don't think that I can take it'cause it took so long to bake itand I'll never have that recipe againOh, nooo!
