Macarthur Park - Donna Summer
Spring was never waiting us for us girl
It ran on step ahead as we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot fevered iron like a striped pair of pants
Macarthur Park is melting thro' the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left a cake out in the rain
I don't think I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no.
I recall a yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave on the ground around the knees
The birds like tender babies in your hands
And old men playing chequers by the trees
Macarthur Park is melting thro' the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left a cake out in the rain
I don't think 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 looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll 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 all the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers to the sun
And after all the loves of my life
Oh after all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why
Macarthur Park is melting thro' the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left a cake out in the rain
I don't think I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no.
Oh no
Oh no
