Lyrics of Mac arthur park

Spring was never waiting for us dear
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, nooooo i recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The 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, nooooo
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 make it
And i'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooooo
