Mac Arthur Park Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(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.
