Spring was never waitin’ for us, dear
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance

Mac Arthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowin’ 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 the recipe again, again

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave on the ground beneath your knee
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 flowin’ 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 the recipe again, again

Mac Arthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowin’ down
Someone left my 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 the recipe again, again

Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
Oh...yeah
