Koraci

Ivan Kukolj · Other Songs - Ivan Kukolj

Zasto su ti oci tuzne moja grlice
zasto su ti cipele od blata
kazes napolju je hladno, puste ulice
pa si zakucala mi na vrata

Znam da nemas gde bi otisla
kazes slucajno si naisla

Ref. 2x
Tuzni su ti koraci
samo udji, kako ti je, znam
kad te neko odbaci
ja sam ti vec godinama sam

A gde ti je srno moja osmeh najlepsi
onaj koji slomi srce moje
jos sam onaj stari sto ce da te utesi
kad se pati, lakse je u dvoje

Ref. 2x
