[Verse 1]
I broke an old friend's 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 won't come out
Like a stain that won't 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 won't go out
Like a flame that won't go out
Love is like a flame that won't 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
I'm in love with the summer rain that washes down
It was rain that washes down
Love is like a rain that washes down
