Butter on a summer day
When she's around
I was on the tracks

When the gate came down
Suddenly I recognized
Those bloodshot rearview mirror eyes as mine


I heard that whistle call my name
I almost drove away

But Megan I had a feeling that you would be on that train
So I just waited there for you


Caught a ride to another town
Where the air was clean
And the sun never goes down

Everyone was standing in a line
Between the landing and the stairs


I heard somebody call my name
I almost climbed the stairs
But Megan I had a feeling that someday you'd meet me there

So I just waited there for you

Butter on a summer day

When I hear that name
It's a dream that never came true
Sat down on the tracks

And waited for a train to take me back to you

Somebody came and took my hand

I finally had to go
But Megan I just want you to know
That I waited as long as I could


Butter on a summer day when she's around
