Yes, I saw you at the station, long distance smiles
You were leavin' for the weekend, catching the 4:55
With your new friend for a season, another sad-eyed clown
Helpin' to see that your fantasies go down
And I have to wonder to myself why you have to go so far
Driftin' with life's daydreams trying to play the star
I still remembered when you said, "Baby, now let's get away"
And I follow 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 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 callin'
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 know the end
So bye-bye Cin- Cinderella, everything just has to change
And the midnight blues are callin'
I guess that's part of the game
