Nick Drake - 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 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 blown accross 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
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 blown accross 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

Nick Drake - Day Is Done

Nick Drake (1948 - 1974) Was a Genius. His music inspires me everyday. The world is: I'm lost for words. Really. His music is both tragic and beautiful.
