Long John Baldry - Macarthur Park lyrics

Artist: Long John Baldry

album: Let the Heartaches Begin


Spring was never waitin', for us girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages, that were pressed
In love's hot fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthur's Park is meltin' through 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
Foamin' 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's Park is meltin' through the dark
All the sweet green icing flowin' 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
There will be another song for me
For I will sing 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 lookin' at the sun
And after all the loves, of my life
After all the loves, of my life
You'll still be the one
MacArthur's Park is meltin' through the dark
All the sweet green icing flowin' 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
