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 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 have 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
