Tristeca
Oliver Dragojevic · Other Songs - Oliver Dragojevic
sve si dalje od mene
a pratis me kroz vrime
tu za jubav nikog nima
samo kap u ocima sto nedam
joj niz lice
Ref.
A ja jos uvik mislim
samo na tebe, jos
pravim se da lezis kraj mene
sjetu hranim krhkim sjecanjima sna.
A ti u vatru mozes ruku staviti,
da bez tebe ne mogu disati
da sam dosao do dna.
U dusi mista nima
ni za suze ni za smih,
dok pratis me kroz vrime.
Ref.
