Paroles de MacArthur Park

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's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

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 noooooooooooo

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming 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

Chorus 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 the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers
Through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll still be thinking of you
And wondering why

*long instrument sequence*

Chorus

Oh nooooooooooooo
Noooooooooooooooo
Oh Noooooooooooooooooo
