Cassandra
     
      Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
      Recordning began between 2nd and 4th August 1982 at Polar Music Studios.

      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 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 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 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
