5. 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 began 

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 

You speed 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.
