Day is done - piano trial

NICK DRAKE cover - this is a rough draft only, as I definitely can't play piano, and had to find out and improvise the chords somehow - but I would love somebody who is able to doing a jazz-oriented piano version.
so sorry for some flaws and I hope you'll enjoy though, for me it's one of the most fantastic and touching pieces I know. I don't know if Eva Cassidy ever sang it, would love to hear it by K.D. Lang too. -

LYRICS (by Nick Drake, from "Five Leaves Left")

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
Newspapers blow across the court
Lost matches sooner than you would have thought
Now the game's been fought.

When the part is 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 part is 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.

I love this song.

I enjoyed your rendition immediately.

I can't wait to explore your entire collection.

It will take me some time.

But I'll return for the warmth of your voice.

thanks so much Mariah!!! Nick Drake became one of my musical heroes on here, besides Elliott Smith! I absolutely love him!! ;o)

[MariahVerHoef]

Beautiful song... beautifully played, beautifully sung.  Thank you! 5*

[frozenwhitebear]

thanks so much Nancy!! it's strange, the album "Five leaves left" was recorded in 1969, and five years later Nick died in 1974! for my feel some of this "leave-taking" mood is inside this song...
