Day Is Done








When the day is done 
Down to earth then sinks the sun 
Along with everything that was lost and won 
When the day is done. 









When the day is done 
Hope so much your race will be all run 
Then you find you jumped the gun 
Have to go back where you began 
When the day is done.







When the night is cold 
Some get by but some get old 
Just to show life's not made of gold 
When the night is cold. 








When the bird has flown 
Got no-one to call your own 
Got no place to call your home 
When the bird has flown. 







When the game's been fought 
You speed the ball across the court 
Lost much sooner than you would have thought 
Now the game's been fought. 







When the party's through 
Seems so very sad for you 
Didn't do the things you meant to do 
Now there's no time to start anew 
Now the party's through. 








When the day is done 
Down to earth then sinks the sun 
Along with everything that was lost and won 
When the day is done.
