MacArthur Park (Revisited)

(Jim Webb)
 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 stripped pair of pants.
 Mac Arturh Park is melting in the dark
 All the sweet green rising flowing down
 Someone left the cake out in the rain
 But I don't think that I can take it Lord
 It took so long to bake it
 I'll never had that recipe again, oh no.
 I recall the yellow cotton dress
 foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
 And birds like tender babies in your hands
 The old man playing checkers by the trees.
 Mac Arturh Park is melting in the dark
 All the sweet green rising flowing down
 Someone left the cake out in the rain
 But I don't think that I can take it Lord
 It took so long to bake it
 I'll never had that recipe again, oh no.
 --- Instrumental ---
 There will be another song for me for 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
 But 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
 And 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 along wondering why.
 Mac Arturh Park is melting in the dark
 All the sweet green rising flowing down
 Someone left the cake out in the rain
 But I don't think that I can take it Lord
 It took so long to bake it
 I'll never had that recipe again, oh no...
