Prije svitanja

jer znam da mi prije zore moras nestati
samo prazno svitanje iza tebe ostaje
i ove moje bijele ruke suzama isprane
Ja ne mogu tvoju srecu sada gledati
jer sve sto mi nocas treba s tobom odlazi
nakon svitanja bez sna puna mojih dodira
dio mene odlazi zauvijek bez povratka
Ref.
Kad mi odes ti s kime se smijati
s kime sve radosti dijeliti
kad mi odes ti kome cu pricati
kome cu bol na usnama pisati
prije svitanja, prije svitanja
Kad mi odes ti
ja ne mogu bez tebe vise zivjeti
Nakon svitanja bez sna puna mojih dodira
dio mene odlazi zauvijek bez povratka
Ref.
