Lyrics
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 began
When the day is done
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
You 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
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
