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 in 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 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 you're 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 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 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 midnight
|
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 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
|
