Ostavi me zivote

vrijeme ide isto kao prije
zna i ono, nisam onaj stari
za me nista, nista isto nije
Ja sam zoru cekao sa pjesmom
pjevao o ljubavi i sreci
a sad za me kazaljke su stale
nema dalje, nema dalje
Ref.
Ostavi me zivote
ja sam tebi vjerovao
a ti si me izigrao
dusu uzeo, uzmi i tijelo
Najdraze sam izgubio
i s' njim sam se sahranio
kako pjevati, za kog zivjeti
Ostavi me zivote
