Sad nam je mrak
Marko Tolja · Other Songs - Marko Tolja
mome nemiru
hvata moj broj
prva, druga, treca, ceta
Lagano zatvara krug
dok nestaju
sve boje ljeta
Prazna obala i noc
nigdje nikog nema
Mjesec, zadnji strijelac
ja se nudim kao meta
cuvar snova ima moc
i nosi me do ruba svijeta
Ref.
I kao da je sa mnom u zrak
odnio prostor i vrijeme
ne postoji nista, nista do nas
jer to ce vratiti obicne teme
a sad nam je mrak
I kao da me vraca u san
osmijeh i ruka u ruci
tvoje oci sto traze siguran znak
lijepu se prsti i napinju usne
a vani je mrak
Ogrnuti snovima ispod ljetnjeg neba
smijemo se zvijezdama
i Mjesec svuda vreba
nisam siguran da znam
al' osjecam da to mi treba
Ref.
A vani je mrak
