ABBA - cassandra Down in the street theyre 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 Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights Nobody knew how to fight And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry cassandra I didnt believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
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 Youre grieving deeply but still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it but you know youre fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though youre late, that ship is sure to wait Sorry cassandra I misunderstood Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights Nobody knew how to fight And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry cassandra I didnt believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I watched the 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
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us could Listen to words of warning But on the darkest of nights Nobody knew how to fight And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry cassandra I didnt believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave Until the final hour
Im sorry cassandra
Im sorry cassandra
