Trojan Blue

The soldiers standing on the shore, shake up their golden shields You watch them from your room, high on the city walls In the distance on the shifting sea, a thousand coloured sails Is this the moment you made? Is this the way that you planned? You know it won't be long now The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things They never tempted you So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on As they burned for you...? The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue You remember how it used to be when you were just a girl Nothing really mattered then, you can remember so well How you used to hold your head so high, those days will never return The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things They never tempted you So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on As they burned for you...? Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue Dust is drifting in the evening air, across the field below The silver mirror, you hold will never tell... You turn your face away The finest treasures of kings, all of those precious things They never tempted you So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on As they burned for you...? Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue The broken pieces of clay and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
