Verse 1:

Spring was never waiting for us girl, it ran one step ahead

As we followed in the dance

Between the parted pages that were pressed in loves hot fevered iron

Like a strip-ed pair of pants



Chorus:

Mac Arthur 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

I'll never have that recipe again,

Oh no !!



Verse 2:

I recall a yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave

On the ground around your knees

Birds like tender babies in your hands, old men playing checkers

By the trees



Chorus.



Verse 3:

There will be another song for me, and I will sing it

There will be another dream for me, someone will bring it

I will taste the wine while it is warm

And never let you catch me looking in the sun

And after all the loves of my life

After all the loves of my life

You'll still be the one



Verse 4:

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 let my passions flow

Like rivers from the sky

But after all the loves of my life

After all the loves of my life

I'll still be alone, wondering why



Chorus.



Oh !!! Oh no !!!!
