Jedna ladja morem plovi

da l' je to zvijezda ili je to brod
daleka jesen kada ces doc'
stojim na zalu dugo u noc
Ref.
Jedna ladja morem plovi
moje misli prate ju
dio mene na toj vodi
dio tebe sa mnom tu
Jedna ladja morem plovi
dok sa zida kuca sat
brojim dane kad ce pasti
tvoje usne na moj vrat
U dusi more, u srcu plima
usne mi gore, a meni zima
pa me sve vise daljina svlada
daleko tinja svjetlo ko nada
Ref.
Jedna ladja morem plovi
