That Day Is Done
I feel such sorrowI feel such shameI know I won't arrive on timeBefore whatever out there is goneWhat can I do? That day is done
It's just a promise that I madeI said I'd walk in her paradeHot scalding tears I thought would flowStill, in my heart they'll never show
That day is done, that day is doneYou know where I've goneI won't be coming backThat day is done
Well, I recall the time and placeWhen they announced her precious faceI thought at once my heart would burstStill, every time is like the first
There was applause when she stepped upI wished that I could interruptI made no sign, I made no soundI know I must stay underground
That day is done, that day is doneYou know where I've goneI won't be coming backThat day is done
That's why she walks, or so they sayShe always knew just what I neededNow, if she would just look my wayOne time before they proceed
She sprinkles flowers in the dirtThat's when a thrill becomes a hurtI know I'll never see her faceShe walks away from my resting place
That day is done, that day is doneYou know where I've goneI won't be coming backThat day is done
