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 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 day dreams
Trying to play the star
I still remember
When you said
"Baby let's go away"
And I followed you like a school boy
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 calling
I guess it's part of the game
