Bm Bm7
I recall the yellow cotton dress
C
foaming like a wave
Em
on the ground beneath your knees
birds like tender babies in your hands
and the old men playing
chinese checkers by the trees
Mac Arthur Park's 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, nooo!
