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 you fantasies go down

And I have to wonder to myself
Why you have to go so far
Drift 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 9
And we'd leave for the weekend
Riding for 4:55

And I have to wonder to myself
Why you have to go so far
Drift 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

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
