ABBA - Cassandra Lyrics
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
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
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 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 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

ABBA Cassandra Comments
Troy was attacked in their sleep Cassandra tried to warn them but they didn't believe her. Love the song
This song refers not to mythology itself but rather what myths are pointing out which is fatalism of human fate: ignoring obvious signs of coming disaster. And nowaday's mankind bahave as brainless as always. Arogant, greedy , hateful , destroying environment. It can't end well. Everybody gives a shit about what Cassandra prophets.
Timeless masterpiece.
She knew the future was casting a shadow. It's Greta Thunberg, outside Parliament, shouting, why won't anyone listen. I think we believe you now, Cassandra
Agnetha and Frida truly shows that they have superior voices.
The change up of time signature from common time to 6/8 for the chorus makes it interesting along with the two greatest female singers of all time.
World best band forever!!
Another week, still listening, love love love agnetha always and forever xx
having been a devoted fan since 1974 , that's 45 years of listening to ABBA , I thank them for the music that I have listened to every day and for the rest of my days, if only I had managed to Agnetha s. hand , love love love agnetha always and forever
Abba is beyond perfection. greetings from Zambia.
En honor a esta canción se lla mi hija cassandra
Abba maravilhoso - saudades.
Dear Agnetha, you are the most beautiful gentle soul ❤🌸
Beautiful .
They sang about it all, war, mythology, bullying love divorce, happiness sadness
ABBA RULES
Frida has such a beautiful voice!! This song (once you realize what it’s based on) is so powerful!!
très bien composée, très bien interprétée, et émouvante chanson, bref génial
Wonderfull! Is melody And singing like a theatre opera árie. This melody colored thé act od thé texts. ABBA Washington best od thé BEST!!!
A very special talent is ABBA in the World pop music forever !!!!

Золотая песня!
The change ups of time signatures from 1/2 or common to 6/8 for the chorus makes it interesting to listen to, along with the two most wonderful female singers of all time.
My name is Cassandra and I've never heard this song until now. I'm a huge Abba fan too!!!!
ABBA were Brilliant right to the end even though so many had stopped listening. This is possibly even better than Fernando
Talent as rare as this comes but once in a lifetime.........if you are lucky. So glad I had the privilege to have lived through it. Thank you ABBA for the music.
Beautiful face ** beautiful voice ** beautiful song ******
SAD NOTHING LAST FOREVER ABBA CAME THEY SAW THEY CONQUER THEY LEAVE US WITH BEAUTIFUL MUSIC FOR CENTRIES TO COME ...THANKS ABBBA...
Dear Dholm13 Can you tell me- is there a `Non-UK` LP of the `Visitors` containing "Cassandra" The 8th Studio LP released Nov 81 `is` `The Visitors` "Cassandra" certainly not on UK version. So- is it on any European or worldwide versions please? I ask; as I would look for such copy.
cassandra has been only released on B side of the single "the day before you came "...and on the " complet recording session" if i remember but never on a studio album in any country !!!!!
Can my friend and I rent an apartment so we don't have to come home after drinking, honey?
It wasn't on `The Visitors` Not in UK - if on European copies fine! Only place you can find it is on `B` of `The Day Before You Came" U.K copies.
I just love this song googled the meaning what a story!!!!!
The Abba girls are outstanding with this beautiful song.😍🥰
ABBA is the most beautiful pop music in all the World , and forever !!!
There are no words to describe the beauty of this song. It takes you to an unspokable nice dimension. Thank you ABBA. Love this song!
Mais 1 dás melhores do grupo abba 🎶🎵🎼🎤👏👏👏👏
contrary to popular belief but this song was in honor of the silly mothers of argentine
Listening or playing, have always been more of a hard rock/metal guy, but fell in love with this group the moment i first heard them as a long-haired kid lol! These girls' voices just pull you in and hug you! Beautiful (the girls and music lol) and addictive!
I just love this song a beautiful tune & a great story. Love ABBA
Brillant Frida!
All abba songs are very good even those that are not that popular..
And where, Mujera Svenska, does one get the best sushi in STockholm ??
wow,2:16 makes massive goosebumps :-)
This is an amazing composition and performance. I love quiet passages in the harbor that develop into the full sails unfurled rhythm that mimics a ship on the rolling seas. Perfectly written and executed.
2:16 😍🥰
What a nice and lovely sweetie voices
Que musica mais linda maravilhosa.
Another brilliant ABBA creation. Bjorn and Benny must be the greatest writers whoever lived, and Frida and Agnetha must be the prettiest girls whoever took stage. I've come to love these four musical geniuses, each of the four forever happily performing to make each other and their audience happy. Happy is what ABBA was and is all about!!!
ik droom nog altijd weg bij de liedjes van abba
My Mum really loves this song alot
Just their faces make me happy their Sims and their voices lift my heart and the music makes me perpetually hopeful that the world will get along without the input in my opinion, of America.I bring America into it because they were once a beacon of Hope and now they're just being dominated by corporations he want making the rules and denying people their own rights to speak freely to freedom of expression I know artist can pretend to exist under such Nazi conditions it's now profit over people including their Medical system. The rich are getting richer the poor getting poorer and the middle class don't really give a crap about anyone but themselves making ends meet paying prices for crap coming in from China who does not know how to make anything well. I know I wish America well she has gotten out of many of type scrapes before I think that Donald Trump has destroyed the American dream the American people no longer are the bravest people in the world they are no longer the ones who make sure others are treated well the political correctness has dominated their minds and turn them into machines that do what Corporate America wants them to do.
As for Abba oh, they are the world's greatest pop rock group ever and their longevity has proven that. Every group has songs you rather they did not record but you can tell that even the songs that are not as great as we would like, it still took great creativity between the music and vocals to create them and I say thank you ABBA for the music the songs I'm singing.
beautiful music..przepiękne
I think Benny and Bjorn did a great mistake letting these 2 beautiful humming birds with voices from heaven to fly away.......
😍😍😍😍😍
Were are all my Cassandras at?🤪🤪

Does anybody listen to Cassandra in japan?日本人いますか?
yes it is based on a greek Goddess but its still truth those who can see the future are never beleived no one wants the truth like America will fall and wow is to every country we protect. The sign of the times marks the destruction of man kind! The antichrist is in office! we bury our heads in the sand saying its not true but it is the whole world will feel the up aheavel as the system of things comes to an end. Guard yourself's from your deceitful heart or you will parrish
