Cassandra Lyrics - The Visitors Deluxe Edition - 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 

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

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

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
