[Verse 1] I broke an old friends heart On the day I had to leave her Packing up, it was the hardest part Just before we settled down [Verse 2] With the whistle of a train She said love is like a stain That wont come out Like a stain that wont come out [Verse 3] It was the changing of seasons And the changing of my mind He said no 4 train on the weekend Take the local, take your time [Verse 4] And that tunnel made a sound Like a kettle on a flame that wont go out Like a flame that wont go out Love is like a flame that wont burn out [Verse 5] Up in the Catskills in the summertime Watching fireflies rise and fall An old canary can learn a brand new song If she squeezes through the bars [Verse 6] With the cattle in the cane Im in love with the summer rain that washes down It was rain that washes down Love is like a rain that washes down
