Stara staza

kako bolan lezim sada
sa prozora moje sobe
vidim svjetla svoga grada
Ref.
Naokolo svud zidovi
i hodnici bijele boje
mnogo snova u samoci
ovdje mojih ostalo je
Tijelo moje oboljelo
nalazi se ovdje sada
al sam sretan kad uvece vidim
svjetla svoga grada
Ref.
U mislima sam prolazim
setajuc po staroj stazi
skupa s dragom sto mi ovdje
nikad bolnom ne dolazi
Ref.
