Molitva

Zeljko Sasic · Other Songs - Zeljko Sasic

Rekao sam sebi i Bogu
da bez tebe ziveti mogu
al' Bog sve vidi i dobro zna
da ga lazem ja

Moje usne sapcu ti ime
svaki dan mi pocinje time
u tebi jednoj drugih je sto
sto sam sanjao

Ref. 2x
Tvoje telo moja je molitva
tvoje usne vrela lekovita
ali kasno je da me napoje

Oblak dima i bezbroj zena
imam sve a bas nista nemam
sem ove duse koja mi mre
i zle sudbine

Padao sam, tonuo lako
dizao se pa opet tako
al' ovog puta meni sa dna
nema povratka

Ref. 2x
