John T. Wurzer - Remembering Cassandra

Waiting for the leaves to change seems strange in mid-November
Light spring jackets and open windows make it so hard to remember
The changing of the guards inside this wild majestic shack
Has made it quite impossible to ever wander back
Without proper supervision I just slip into decay
Cassandra babe why did you walk away

Was there anything I said that made it hard to understand me
Was I a fool to get inspired and ignore how you had banned me
The eyes I thought were burning were just fireflies and stars
And now I sit in poverty and frequent many bars
The ecstasy and the passion that I tried so to repay
Cassandra babe why did you walk away

It's the curse of secret lovers to be thoughtful with discretion
To hold back tears of jealousy when you witness this procession
To be proper and polite when your hands begin to sweat
And to act as if the one you love is one you never met
At night my muffled weeping covers up the need to say
Cassandra babe why did you walk away

Waiting for the snow to fall is useless here in Texas
The barometer is sinking fast, but all that it detects is
A memory that just fades away like faces in the crowd
The cigarettes and ashtrays with the music blaring loud
And the tears you wept for all but me on that fateful summer day
Cassandra babe why did you walk away
