Precuti me

precuti me
ako ti majka o meni misli procita
precuti me
Samo idi i pusti nek te vetar nosi
nek tvoji prsti budu u tudjoj kosi
precuti me
neka me oci njegove u tvojim naslute
Ako te pogodi kad cujes moje ime
precuti me
zivot ti masku srece sa lica skine
ne trazi me
Samo idi, u mislima sam pored tebe
i ako u ovoj pesmi nadjes sebe
ugasi je
ko sto ugasila si moj zivot nekad pre
Ref.
Ne diraj me i ne podsecaj me sad
gde si bila da me zagrlis
da mi bar malo ublazis pad
ne diraj me ako si ikad volela
i ne trazi me u oblacima
kad krila si mi slomila
Precuti me
