Samo ja znam

ako ti sjaj u ocima
ako te uplasi vrijeme
beskrajno dugim koracima
Ako ti potonu ladje
i sreca ledja okrene
slobodno kucaj na moja vrata
tebi je mjesto kraj mene
Ref.
Samo ja znam za tvoje probleme
samo ja znam u dugim nocima
samo ja znam za tvoje dileme
kad pada snijeg u tvojim ocima
(samo ja znam)
Ako se nekad zatvore vrata
otvori noc, ne okilijevaj
na staroj vatri ima zara
za jos mnogo, mnogo godina
Ref.
Samo ja znam
