Spring
Between the parted pages and repressed in love's hot fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
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 no
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a dream
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
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 no
There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
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 lows of my life
After all the lows 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 your eyes
And I will use it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers to the sky
I will have the things that I desire

And after all the lows of my life
I will be thinking of you
And wondering why
i am wondering why
I am wondering why
I am wondering why



and my pursuit of love for you is not that simple.
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
