Cassandra

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

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
But then again you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart
Aching in our hearts

Sorry Cassandra
I misunderstood (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Now the last day is dawning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Some of us wanted
But none of us would (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Listen to words of warning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra
I didn't believe (I'm sorry Cassandra)
You really had the power I'm sorry Cassandra)
I only saw it as dreams you would weave (I'm sorry Cassandra)
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 to linger
You're grieving deeply but still moving on

You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it but you know your fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing though you're late
That ship is sure to wait

Sorry Cassandra
I misunderstood (I'm sorry Cassandra)

Now the last day is dawning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Some of us wanted
But none of us would (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Listen to words of warning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra
I didn't believe (I'm sorry Cassandra)
You really had the power (I'm sorry Cassandra)
I only saw it as dreams you would weave (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Until the final hour

I watched her ship leaving harbour 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

Sorry Cassandra
I misunderstood (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Now the last day is dawning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Some of us wanted
But none of us would (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Listen to words of warning (I'm sorry Cassandra)
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra
I didn't believe (I'm sorry Cassandra)
You really had the power (I'm sorry Cassandra)
I only saw it as dreams you would weave (I'm sorry Cassandra)
Until the final hour

I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra

I'm sorry Cassandra
