Donna Summer - MAC ARTHUR PARK lyrics

Spring was never waiting for us, girl

it ran one step ahead

as we followed in the dance.

Between the parted pages

we were pressed,

in love's hot, fevered iron

like a striped pair of pants.

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

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!

There'll be another song for me

and I will sing it

there'll be another dream for me

someone will bring it

I will drink the wine while it is warn

and never let you catch me

looking at the sun, oh yeah

and after all the loves of my life

after all loves in my life

you'll 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

oh and after all the loves in my life

after all the loves in my life

you'll still be the one

and I'll ask myself why.

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!
