kroz grad za tebe pust
sva nadanja da se vrate sni
sto su nekad zivjeli tu
ostavljas sad
Taj tvoj voljeni grad
u svakom kutku cuva
za te sjecanja
jer znas da si nekad tu
sretan i voljen bio ti
a danas lutas sam
Sjecam se tog vremena
kada te napustila
znam, pricao si mi o tome
potreslo te, kako i ne bi
Bilo je ljudi koji su se smijali
i pravili sale na tvoj racun
a sada svi o tome sute
Jedino je neka starica rekla -
Tako je bio mlad i naivan
sam prolazis sad
kroz grad za tebe pust
