Poeta

Oliver Dragojevic · Other Songs - Oliver Dragojevic

Sad je kasno da se kajem
nima nazad s oveg puta
pusti nebu sve dok traje
moja zvizda neka luta

Ne razumim nista vise
samo pismu dusa jubi
i na vodi ric sto pise
ona sebe ludo gubi

Ref.
Potrosi san mladost
i dusu i tilo
a sve lipo ca je bilo
ca je ludo srce snilo
u pismi se zbilo
sad ladne su noci
i grko je vino
neka skonca ovo tilo
kad sve lipo ca je bilo
tek srcu se snilo
potrosi san mladost
i dusu i tilo

Sudbo moja ca mi dade
da su stvarni snovi stari
jedan cvit u krilo pade
mojoj slomljenoj gitari

I da nece mora da je
ovo srce ca se dalo
dok vam s vitrom pismu salje
njemu osta lisce palo

Ref.
