Waylon Jennings - MacArthur Park lyrics

Album: Country-Folks ( w. Kimberleys) <RCA Victor> (1969)

(Jim Webb)

Spring was never waiting for us girl
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages & were pressed
In love is 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 do not think that I can take it Lord
It took so long to bake it
I will 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 do not think that I can take it Lord
It took so long to bake it
I will never had that recipe again, oh no.

--- Instrumental ---

There´ll be another song for me for & I´ll sing it
There´ll be another dream for me someone´ll bring it
I´ll taste the wine while it´s 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 will still be the one.

I´ll take my life into my hands & I´ll use it
I´ll win the worship in their eyes & I´ll 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 will 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 do not think that I can take it Lord
It took so long to bake it
I will never had that recipe again, oh no...
