Jennings Waylon Mac Arthur Park Lyrics

Mac Arthur Park Lyrics

Verse 1:

 Spring was never waiting for us girl, it ran one step ahead

 As we followed in the dance

 Between the parted pages that were pressed in loves hot fevered iron

 Like a strip-ed pair of pants

 

 Chorus:

 Mac Arthur 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

 I'll never have that recipe again,

 Oh no !!

 

 Verse 2:

 I recall a yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave

 On the ground around your knees

 Birds like tender babies in your hands, old men playing checkers

 By the trees

 

 Chorus.

 

 Verse 3:

 There will be another song for me, and I will sing it	

 There will be another dream for me, someone will bring it

 I will taste the wine while it is warm

 And never let you catch me looking in the sun

 And after all the loves of my life

 After all the loves of my life

 You'll still be the one

 

 Verse 4:

 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 let my passions flow 

 Like rivers from the sky

 But after all the loves of my life

 After all the loves of my life

 I'll still be alone, wondering why 

 

 Chorus.

 

 Oh !!! Oh no !!!!
