Now I'm sick and tired of your tedious ways |
And I ain't gonna take it no more |
Oh no no - walkin' out that door |
Burning my bridges, cutting my tie |
Once again I wanna look into the eye |
Being myself |
Counting my pride |
No un-right neighbour's gonna take me for a ride |
Burning my bridges |
Moving at last |
Girl I'm leaving and I'm burying the past |
Gonna have peace now |
You can be free |
No one here will make a sucker out of me |
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 |
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 |
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong |
You're enchained by your own sorrow |
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow |
How I hate to see you like this |
There is no way you can deny it |
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet |
Chiquitita, tell me the truth |
I'm a shoulder you can cry on |
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on |
You were always sure of yourself |
Now I see you've broken a feather |
I hope we can patch it up together |
Chiquitita, you and I know |
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving |
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end |
You will have no time for grieving |
