Day Is Done
The Jackson Analogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the day is done
When the full moon's wandering
Then the day is done
And it's love, love, love, love cause the day is done
Because I know you
Your name is someone
Your name is someone
Will you, won't you
When you know it's gone
It's like a punch drunk lullaby when the goings gone
And it's love, love, love
Once the night is gone
And it's love, love, love
Don't you know it's gone
Because I know you
Your name is someone
Your name is someone
Your name is someone
Your name is someone
