When the day is doneDown to Earth then sinks the sunAlong with everything that was lost and wonWhen the day is doneWhen the day is doneHope so much your race will be all runThen you find you jumped the gunHave to go back where you begunWhen the day is doneWhen the night is coldSome get by but some get oldJust to show life's not made of goldWhen the night is coldWhen the bird has flownGot no one to call your ownGot no place to call your homeNow the bird has flownWhen the game's been foughtNewspaper blowing across the courtLost much sooner than you would have thoughtNow the game's been foughtWhen the party's throughSeems so very sad for youDidn't do the things you meant to doNow there's no time to to start anewNow the party's throughWhen the day is doneDown to Earth then sinks the sunAlong with everything that was lost and wonWhen the day is doneDay is doneWhen the day is done
