| C | F | C | | Down in the street they’re all | singing and | shouting |
|
| G/B | Am | G | | Staying | alive though the | city is | dead |
|
| G/F | C/E | G7 | C | | Hiding their | shame behind | hollow | laughter |
|
| C/E | F | D/F# | G | | While | you are | crying | alone on your | bed |
|
|
| C | F | C | | Pity Cassandra that | no one | believed you |
|
| G/B | Am | G | | But then | again you were | lost from the | start |
|
| G/F | C/E | F/A | C/G | | Now we must | suffer and | sell our | secrets |
|
| F6 | G | Am | Dm7 | G | C | | Bargain, | playing | smart, | aching | in our | hearts |
|
|
| | | G7 | | | Sorry Cassandra I | misunderstood |
|
| | | C | | | Now the last day is | dawning |
|
| | | G7 | | | Some of us wanted but | none of us could |
|

|
| | | Am | E | | | Nobody | knew how to | fight |
|

|
| | | G7 | | | Sorry Cassandra I | didn’t believe |
|
| | | C | | | You really had the | power |
|
| | | G7 | | | I only saw it as | dreams you would weave |

|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
