Cassandra
ABBA B. Andersson/B. Ulvaeus) 1982 Down in the street they're all singing and shouting Staying alive though the city is dead Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter while you are crying alone on your bed Pity, Cassandra that no one believed you Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts Now we must suffer and sell our secrets But then again you were lost from the start Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood now the last day is dawning Some of us wanted but none of us would listen to words of warning But on the darkest of nights nobody knew how to fight and we were caught in our sleep I only saw it as dreams you would weave Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe you really had the power Until the final hour So in the morning your ship will be sailing Now that your father and sister are gone there is no reason for you linger You know the future is casting a shadow Packing your bags, being slow and thorough You're grieving deeply but still moving on No one else sees it, but you know your fate Knowing though you're late that ship is sure to wait Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood now the last day is dawning listen to words of warning Some of us wanted but none of us would But on the darkest of nights And we were caught in out sleep Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe you really had the power Nobody knew how to fight Until the final hour I only saw it as dreams you would weave I watched her ship leaving harbor at sunrise sails almost slack in the cool morning rain She stood on deck, just a tiny figure Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain Some of us wanted but none of us would Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood now the last day is dawning listen to words of warning Nobody knew how to fight But on the darkest of nights And we were caught in out sleep Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe you really had the power I only saw it as dreams you would weave Until the final hour (I'm sorry Cassandra |
