4:55

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
