MacArthur Park (Album Version)

歌詞

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 striped pair of pants I recall the yellow cotton dress It was foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing Checkers by the trees MacArthur Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain And 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, oh no There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Oh, someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one Little girl I will take my life into my hands, I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes oh and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life 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 Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain And 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, oh no, no
