    Mac Arthur Park Lyrics

    Spring was never waiting for us 'til it ran one step ahead

    As we followed in the dance

    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

    I recall the yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave

    On the ground beneath your knees

    Birds like tender babies in your hands

    And the old men playing Chinese 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

    MacArthur's park is melting in the dark

    All the sweet green icing flowing down

    Someone left my 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
