Cassandra

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 nd 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

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 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

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
