Zaspala je moja draga

Zaspala je moja draga
i vise me ne vidi
mislio sam, ako kazem, idem
da cu da je probudim

Mozda shvati da joj vise znacim
nego sto mi govore
hladne usne te, kad me poljube
mozda sve ce biti kao pre

Ref.
Rekla mi je za nju da ne brinem
i da ce preziviti to sve
rekla mi je da je tako bolje
jer nam vec odavno ne ide

A ja Boga molio sam 'zalud
za suzu u njenim ocima
ali ove noci ni jedna
nije potekla

Zatvorio sam vrata sreci
sa porazom u koferu
a bio sam spreman na sve lazi
samo ne na istinu

Sada znam da bez nje dalje moram
istinu su slutile
hladne usne te dok su cutale
nista biti nece kao pre

Ref. 2x
