Trojan Blue Lyrics - Icehouse

The soldiers standing on the shore, take 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
