Macarthur Park:Richard Harris.
#2 in 1968.
#1.
Spring was never waiting for us, girl,
it ran one step a..head as we followed
in the dance.
Be..tween the parted pages and were pressed,
/
in love s hot, fevered i..ron, like a strip-ed
pair of pants.
CHORUS:
MacArthur 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!
#2.
I recall the yellow cotton dress, foaming 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.
CHORUS:
#3.
There will be another song for me,
for I will sing it.
There will be another dream for me,
Fsus9/
someone will bring it.
I will drink the wine while it is warm,
-5
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.
#4.
I will take my life into my hands and
I will use it.
I will win the worship in their eyes and
Fsus9/
I will lose it.
I will have the things that I desire,
-5
and my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life,
Oh, after all the loves of my life,
I ll be thinking of you and wondering why.
CHORUS:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
