Yes I saw you at the station Long distance smiles You were leaving for the weekend Catching the four fifty-five With your new friend for the season Another sad-eyed clown Helping to the seeing that your fantasies go down And I have to wonder to myself Why you have to go so far Drifting with 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 nine And we'd leave for the weekend Riding the four fifty-five 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 know 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
