Testo Macarthur Park - Sammy Davis, Jr.
Testo della canzone Macarthur Park (Sammy Davis, Jr.), tratta dall'album Mr. Bojangles
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages they were pressed
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 the recipe again, oh no
I still see the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
The birds like tender babies on your hand
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, no, I'll never have the recipe again, oh no
There will be another song for me
And 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 loves of my life
After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one
I will take my life into my hand
And I will use it
I will win the worship of their eyes
And I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passions flow like rivers to the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life, I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And 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
Oh no
