|
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 |
|
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 |
|
Sorry Cassandra I didn't 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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 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 filled with pain |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
I'm sorry Cassandra |
|
I'm sorry Cassandra |
|
I'm sorry Cassandra |
