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 begun

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 night is cold

weren't you ever told

it's the time when fear is bought and sold

when the night is cold

When the game's been fought

Newspaper blowing across the court

You lost much quicker

Than you would have thought

Now the game's been fought

When the party's through

Seems so 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 they've sung this song

maybe you won't feel quite so strong

your hopes won't last quite so long

when they've sung this song

When they've sung this song

won't be so sure what's right what's wrong

not so sure where you belong

when they've sung this song

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 begun

When the day is done
