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
