Cassandra Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
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 bedPity 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 heartsSorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warningBut on the darkest of nights

Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleepSorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hourSo 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 onYou 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 waitSorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warningBut on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleepSorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hourI 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 painSorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warningBut on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleepSorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hourI'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
ABBA was a pop music group formed in Stockholm, Sweden in November 1970. The band consisted of Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida), Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Agnetha Fältskog. (See also Björn Ulvaeus & Benny Andersson, as well as Benny's previous band Hep Stars.)

They topped the charts worldwide from 1972 to 1982 with eight studio albums, achieving twenty-six #1 singles and numerous awards. They also won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo.

A jukebox musical based on the music of ABBA titled Mamma Mia! opened in London's West End in 1999 and has since become one of the most popular musicals in the world. In 2008, a movie version was made with Meryl Streep among the cast.

The recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2010 Induction Ceremony, held on March 15 in New York, recognized the huge contribution of ABBA. Represented by Anni-Frid Lyngstad "Frida" and former husband/band member Benny Andersson, it was perhaps the crowning acknowledgment of the phenomenal success of Sweden's most famous four.
