MacArthur Park

MacArthur Park - Graham Blvd.

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 no

I recall the yellow

Cotton dress

Lowing like a wave

On the ground beneath your knees

Birds like tender babies in your hands

And the old men playing

Chinese checkers by the trees

MacArthur Park's 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 no

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 bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again

Oh no

Oh no
