Richard Harris - Macarthur Park Lyrics
Spring was never waiting for us, girlIt ran one step aheadAs we followed in the danceBetween the parted pages and were pressedIn love's hot, fevered ironLike a striped pair of pantsMacArthur'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, no!I recall the yellow cotton dressFoaming like a waveOn the ground around your kneesThe birds, like tender babies in your handsAnd the old men playing checkers by the treesMacArthur'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, no![break]There will be another song for meFor I will sing itThere will be another dream for meSomeone will bring itI will drink the wine while it is warmAnd never let you catch me looking at the sunAnd after all the loves of my lifeAfter all the loves of my lifeYou'll still 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 skyAnd after all the loves of my lifeAfter all the loves of my lifeI'll be thinking of youAnd wondering why[extended break]MacArthur'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, no!Oh, noNo, noOh no!!
