Spring was never
waiting for us dear
It ran one
step ahead
As we followed
in the dance
Mac Arthur's Park
is melting in the dark
all the sweet
green icing
flowing down
Someone left
the cake out
in the rain
I don't think
that I can 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
Foaming like
a wave
on the ground
beneath your knees
Birds like tender babies
in your hands
and the old men
playing
Chinese checkers
by the trees
MacArthur's Park
is melting in the dark
all the sweet
green icing
flowing down
Someone left
the cake out
in the rain
I don't think that
I can take it
'cause it took so long
to bake it
And I'll never have
that recipe again
oh nooo!
