4:55 (Part Of The Game)

yes i saw you 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 see

that your fantasy s 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 said you d like to see me

maybe just for a while

and you meet me at the station

there on platform nine

and we d leave for the weekend

riding for 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 that s part of the game
