Day Is Done

When the day is done Down to the earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done When the day is up Hope so much your race will all be run Then you find you jump 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 that life's not made of gold When the night is cold When the bird has flown You got no one to call your own You 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 so much sooner than you would have thought Now the games been fought When the party is through It 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 The day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done
