Spring was never waiting for us dear It went one step ahead As we followed in that dance I recall the yellow cotton dress Forming like a wave On the ground beneath your wings Mac Arthur's is melting in the dark Sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I could take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again oh nooo... I recall the yellow cotton dress Flowing like a wave On the ground beneath your wings
Just like the tender baby in your hand And the old man playing checker by the tree Mac Arthur's is melting in the dark Sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I could take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again oh nooo... Spring was never waiting for us dear It went one step ahead As we followed in that dance I recall the yellow cotton dress Flowing like a wave On the ground beneath your wings
