Mac Arthur Park
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
And birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old man playing checkers
By the trees
MacArthur 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 had that recipe again oh no
There will be another songs for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I'll drink 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 will 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
I will have the things that I desire
And my passions flow like rivers through the sky
But after all the loves of my life
Oh after all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why
MacArthur 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 had that recipe again oh no
