Oktobar 1864 · Other Songs - Oktobar 1864

Njegovo vreme stoji, dan je kao vek
i njegovo srce sanja, neki drugi svet
i sruseni snovi,ledja uvek uza zid
i dok mu pogled luta
ne zna da si s' njim

Ref.
I slepo hodas za njim, pratis mu trag
k'o senka hodas za njim, gubis dah
ti slepo hodas za njim, pratis mu trag
k'o senka hodas za njim, gubis dah
Pratis trag

Njegovo vreme stoji,dan je kao vek
i njegovo srce sanja neki drugi svet
hiljadu misli kao vetar lome ga
cvece zla je dao drugim ljudima

Ref.

Hodas za njim
