Kevin Alexander - Troy Lyrics

"Troy"

Out the window at night the lanterns of Troy
Glow down upon hushed winter streets

A brew customed for dawn caresses our tongues
& drifts through the withering space between

Cailín Álainn, it soon will be morning
I'll wake to your absence & dream in my bed

Of gray eyes like mirrors, each glint a whispered secret
Piercing my soul on the night that we met

Rebuild & ruin me
Ruin me again
Let's call a truce
Tear me down, make amends

Is peace worth the casualties?
Let's just pretend
Rebuild & ruin me
Ruin me again

Goodbye my lover
I hate to find another
Please pity me, foolish me
Give me a chance

Just one chance

Oh, love, won't you tell me
Where have you gone?
Oh, love, won't you say...
"Please come back home"

You're worth all the fight in my bones

Perhaps in a year, you'll meet me there
But then I'll be different, will you be the same?

Lanterns aglow in the snow as your eyes seemed to know
The first to last note of the symphony of days

Rebuild & ruin me
Ruin me again
Let's call a truce
Tear me down, make amends

Is peace worth the casualties?
Let's just pretend
Rebuild & ruin me
Ruin me again

Goodbye my lover
I hate to find another
Please pity me, foolish me
Give me a chance

Just one chance

Oh, love, won't you tell me
Where have you gone?
Oh, love, won't you say...
"Please come back home"

You're worth all the fight in my bones
