Yes I saw you at the station Long distance smiles You were leaving for the weekend Catching the 4:55
With the new friend for the season Another sad-eyed clown Helping to see that your fantasy's go down
And I have to wonder to myself Why you have to go so far Drift with new life's daydreams Trying to play the star I still remember when you said Baby now let's get away And I followed you like a schoolboy I guess that's part of the game
Now you call me say you're sorry Give me long distance love You say you'd like to see me Maybe just for a while And you'd meet me at the station There on platform 9 And we'd leave for the weekend Riding for 4:55
But I've played this scene too many times To ever feel the part again I don't really want to fake it I already knew the end So bye bye Cin-Cinderella Everything just has to change And the midnight blues are calling I guess that's part of the game
