Prije sna
Oliver Dragojevic · Other Songs - Oliver Dragojevic
negdje do ceste prozor treci
takvom ceznjom gledao sam
da ne mogu rijecima reci
Jedan okvir i komad stakla
bio je cijeli moj svemir
samo rukom si me takla
i od tada moj si nemir
Ref.
Da poklonis najljepsi cvijet
i dragog kamena sjaj
ja bih ga mijenjao
za tvoj zagrljaj
Kad poklonis otrovni trn
iz ruke ga uzimam ja
samo da osjetim
tebe prije sna
Negdje tamo na onoj kuci
negdje do ceste prozor treci
tamo vjeciti je izvor
mojoj zalosti i sreci
Ref.
