Ratan Bhattacharjee - Sleep

I feel sleepy when all are awake
In the bright sun-bathed golden dawn
All have left their early bed
The sun hasgone high above
In the sky the soft cloud becomes hot
The rose plant on the earth goes dry
I feel a drowsiness I dont know why.....

I got a response
From my mistress
I got a hello from my wife
I got a love letter from my ex-ladylove
Which I regarded as sheer nonsense

I feel drowsy all the morn
I feel drowsy everywhere
Life is boring, life is dull
You know I have none to share.
