day is done

five leaves left albümünden, iç yakan nick drake şarkısı! *

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.

bir john prine şarkısıdır.

nick drake in melankoli kokan mükemmel parçası. -ne kaldı geriye- dedirtir insana.

intihar şarkısı.

Nick drake'den dinleyince dertsiz insanı derde sokan şarkıdır.

john prine' a ait olanı için sözler:

do you like me
well i hope you do
cause if you like me, then i think i'm gonna have to like you too

we share our things
and have some fun
then we'll say goodbye and go back home when the day is done

if you tell me, i'll tell you too
and we say the things and do the things that lovers do

we'll keep it to ourselves
we won't hurt no one
then we'll say goodbye and go back home when the day is done

we carve our names on a tree
then we'll burn it down, so no one in the world will see
then we'll make love while we watch the flame
then we walk away as if we never had no shame

now we must hide to be alone
and we can't say our sweet things on the telephone
if we can't stop what we've begun
we should say goodbye ang go back home when the day is done

do you still like me
well i hope you do
cause if you still like me, then i think i'm gonna have to still like you

we shared our things
and had some fun
now we'll say goodbye and go back home when the day is done
yeah we'll say goodbye and go back home while we still have one
let' say goodbye and go back home, now the day is done

Nick Drake'in mükemmel şarkısıdır. Yıldızlarla dolu bir gökyüzü altında kulaklıkla çimlerin üzerinde dinlerken inceden rüzgar eserse ve o sırada kendimi anılarımda kaybedersem işte bir daha bulmam çok zor olacak gibi.
