Nancy Sinatra - Macarthur park lyrics

Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love' hot, fevered iron like a striped pair of pants MacArthurs park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I dont think that I can take it Cause it took so long to bake it And Ill never have that recipe again! Oh, no-o-o-o! I recall the yellow cotton dress Flowing 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 MacArthurs park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I dont think that I can take it Cause it took so long to bake it And Ill never have that recipe again! Oh, no-o-o-o! There would be another song for me, for I will sing it There would be another dream for me someone will bring it I will 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 And after all the loves of my life, youll still be the one 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 pa**ion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life Oh, after all the loves of my life, Ill be thinking of you And wondering - Why? MacArthurs park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I dont think that I can take it Cause it took so long to bake it And Ill never have that recipe again! Oh, no-o-o-o! Oh, no-o-o-o!
