Spring was never waiting for us, girl

It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance

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

Em G
I recall the yellow cotton dress.
F Am F Am C C/B
Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
Em G
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
F Am F Am C C/B
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
