Vec dolazi rijeka
Ivica Percl · Other Songs - Ivica Percl
sve ode s njim, sve sto je dotakla
njegova ruka, i nista nece biti isto
prazna postelja i otvorena vrata sobe
Prolazit ce dani, prolazit ce noci
i jednog jutra nista nece biti tvoje
na putu koji vodi na cetiri strane svijeta
tvoj vlak ce stati daleko od grada
Jos samo trenutak i ti ces otici
tvoje mjesto ostat ce prazno
jedan za drugim ustat ce prijatelji
i ponovo ce sve biti zaboravljeno
Ne pitaj nista, zatvori oci
neka padne zastor, svjetla su pogasena
jos samo casak i ti ces otici
vec dolazi rijeka koja ce te odnijeti sa sobom
