Letra: "McArthur park"
Spring was never waiting for us girl,
It ran one step ahead as
we followed in a dance
Between the parted pages
And were pressed in
Love's hot fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have the recipe again
Oh, no
I still see the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave on the ground
And round your knees
And the birds like tender babies
In your hand and the old men 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
And I don't think I can take it,
Cause it took so long to bake it.
And I'll never have the recipe again,
Oh, no
There will be another song for me,
Someone will bring it.
There will be another dream for me,
Someone will bring it.
I will 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'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
I will have the things that I desire
And my passions flow like rivers to
The sky
But after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll by 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
And I don't think I can take it
Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have the recipe again
