Lyrics
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in a dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthur 'Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have the 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 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 have the things that I desire
And my passions flow like rivers to the sky
But after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why
MacArthur 'Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have the recipe again
Oh, no
Oh, no
