Spring was never waiting for us, dear It went one step ahead As we followed in the dance I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like the wave On the ground beneath your knees
Chorus: 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, no!
{Rap interlude}
I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like the wave On the ground beneath your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing checkers by the trees
Chorus: 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, no!
{Rap interlude} Spring was never waiting for us, dear It went one step ahead As we followed in the dance I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like the wave On the ground beneath your knees
