yes i saw you at the station
long distance smiles
you were leaving for the weekend
catching the 4:55
with your 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
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 said you d like to see me
maybe just for a while
and you meet me at the station
there on platform nine
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 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
