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
