Skitnica

Jasna Zlokic · Other Songs - Jasna Zlokic

Plovi mjesec iznad grada
u noci se ceste gube
pod prozorom lisce susti
dok me tvoje ruke ljube

Sve je tako njezno, lijepo
blagi dani bistre zore
ti me diras, ti me ljubis
dok ja sanjam kolodvore

Ref.
Jer ja sam skitnica, ne drzi me mjesto
ja sam skitnica, bjezi mi se cesto
jer ja sam skitnica, daljine me vuku
vise volim vjetar nego mirnu luku

Bijeli brod niz rijeku plovi
preko grada oblak pluta
dok me diras, dok me ljubis
gledam krosnje preko puta

Sve je zbilja lijepo, toplo
ljubav puna obecanja
ti u meni trazis luku
dok ja sanjam putovanja

Ref.
