MacArthur Park

(Jim Webb) 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 stripped pair of pants. Mac Arturh Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green rising flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain But I don't think that I can take it Lord It took so long to bake it I'll never had that recipe again, oh no. I recall the yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees And birds like tender babies in your hands The old man playing checkers by the trees. Mac Arturh Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green rising flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain But I don't think that I can take it Lord It took so long to bake it I'll never had that recipe again, oh no. --- Instrumental --- There will be another song for me for and I will sing it There will be another dream for me someone will bring it I will taste the wine while it is warm and never let you catch me looking in the sun But 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 And my pa*sions flow like rivers from the sky But after all the loves of my life after all the loves of my life I'll still be along wondering why. Mac Arturh Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green rising flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain But I don't think that I can take it Lord It took so long to bake it I'll never had that recipe again, oh no...
