Day Is Done Lyrics - Elton John

Written by Nick Drake 

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Now the bird has flown 

When the game's been fought 

Newspaper blowing 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 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 

Day is done 

When the day is done
