ABBA - Cassandra Lyrics
Down in the street theyre all singing and shoutingStaying alive though the city is deadHiding their shame behind hollow laughterWhile you are crying alone on your bedPity cassandra that no one believed youBut then again you were lost from the startNow we must suffer and sell our secretsBargain, playing smart, aching in our heartsSorry cassandra I misunderstoodNow the last day is dawningSome of us wanted but none of us couldListen to words of warningBut on the darkest of nightsNobody knew how to fightAnd we were caught in our sleepSorry cassandra I didnt believeYou really had the powerI only saw it as dreams you would weaveUntil the final hourSo in the morning your ship will be sailingNow that your father and sister are goneThere is no reason for you to lingerYoure grieving deeply but still moving onYou know the future is casting a shadowNo one else sees it but you know youre fatePacking your bags, being slow and thoroughKnowing, though youre late, that ship is sure to waitSorry cassandra I misunderstoodNow the last day is dawningSome of us wanted but none of us couldListen to words of warningBut on the darkest of nightsNobody knew how to fightAnd we were caught in our sleepSorry cassandra I didnt believeYou really had the powerI only saw it as dreams you would weaveUntil the final hourI watched the ship leaving harbour at sunriseSails almost slack in the cool morning rainShe stood on deck, just a tiny figureRigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with painSorry cassandra I misunderstoodNow the last day is dawningSome of us wanted but none of us couldListen to words of warningBut on the darkest of nightsNobody knew how to fightAnd we were caught in our sleepSorry cassandra I didnt believeYou really had the powerI only saw it as dreams you would weaveUntil the final hourIm sorry cassandraIm sorry cassandra
