THE NEAL MORSE BAND - MacArthur Park lyrics

rate me

(Verse: at 01:07 minutes)

Spring was never waiting for us girl(?!)

It ran one step ahead as we fought in the dance

Between departed pages and we're pressed

In love's heart fevered iron, like a striking pair of hands

(Chorus)

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark

All the sweet green icing flowing down

Someone left a cake out in the rain

And I don't think that I can take it

Cuz it took so long to bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again

(Verse 2)

I recall the yellow cotton dress

Forming like the rain rain on the ground 'round your knees

Birds like tender babies in your hands

And they only pray in genders(!?) over by the trees

(Chorus)

(Verse 2: at 04:08 minutes)

There would be another song for me

For I will sing it!

There would be another dream for me

Someone will bring it!

I would 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 will still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it

Oh, I will _____(?!) the worship in their eyes

And I will lose it

I will have the things that I desire

And my passion flow like rivers through the open 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, oh oh!

Why!

(Chorus: at 08:24 minutes)
