Zivot je more

Arsen Dedic · Other Songs - Arsen Dedic

Zivot je more, pucina crna
po kojoj tonu mnogi sto brode
nije mi srce plasljiva srna
ja se ne bojim velike vode

Lome me vali, nose me struje
oseka srece, a tuge plima
siba me nebo bicem oluje
al' jos se ne dam i jos me ima

U jutra rana plase me senke
minulih dana
secanja mutna kao u lazi, kao u snu
ipak se borim, ipak se nadam
sve manje letim, sve vise padam
i sve su jace ruke sto me vuku dnu

Mozda ce zena svilenog bedra
koja me zove i pruza ruke
uliti vetar u moja jedra
do nove zene, do nove luke

Zivot je more (2x)
