precious sleep

I wonder how long, I wonder how deep
I wonder how long I can go without precious sleep?

be it a day, a month, a forth-night or a week
how precious to me is precious sleep?

will the colors fade, will the food go bland
How active will I be, how long can I stand?

Of all the things in this mans life
What is more important, his fork or his knife?

sleep is but a mystery, filled with fantasy
your body does nothing and your mind is free

1/3 a mans life is between the sheets
tossing and turning in precious sleep

1/3 a man's life if he's 75
is 25 years he's kissed good bye
