This song by Nick Drake first appeared on his album 'Five Leaves Left' (1969). Fabulous tune he wrote and performed. Many others have done versions, including Elton John. This one just done in my own way and intended with all due respect to the Original Artist and Lyricist. Nick Drake? What can one say? Genius of a Songwriter.....Legend. Not fully appreciated nor understood until his flame burned out way too quickly. RIP, Nick Drake. What an amazing talent. >>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Drake Day is Done - Nick Drake (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 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 bird has flown 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 Newspaper blow across the court Lost much sooner than you would have thought Now the game's been fought
When the part is 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 part is 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
