“Cassandra” song by ABBA

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
Barging, playing smart, aching in our hearts

Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen the words of warning

But on the darkest of night
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
If you really had the power
I only saw it was 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
You're grieving deeply but still moving on

You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it 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
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen the words of warning

But on the darkest of night
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
If you really had the power
I only saw it was dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

I watched the 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 fill with pain

Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen the words of warning

But on the darkest of night
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep

Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
If you really had the power
I only saw it was dreams you would weave
Until the final hour

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