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 that you jumped the gun

You have to go back where you begun

When the day is done

And when the night is cold

Some get by and some get old

Just to show life’s not made of gold

When the night is cold

When the bird has flown

You 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 sped 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

And 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
