'Day is done' - Nick Drake

On the 25th of November 1974 English singer, songwriter Nick Drake died in his sleep aged 26. He had signed to Island records when he was 20 years old and recorded 3 albums, none of which sold more than 5000 copies while he was alive. But he had a loyal fan base and they spread the word of his great songs. So much so, that he has gone on to be a massive influence in the World of contemporary music.
'Day is done' is a song from Drake's first album 'Five leaves left' and is a tale of missed opportunities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jxjv0HkwM
'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'
