That Day is Done

[Verse 1] I feel such sorrow I feel such shame I know I won't arrive on time Before whatever out there is gone What can I do, that day is done [Verse 2] It's just a promise, that I made I said I'd walk in her parade Hot scalding tears I thought would flow Still in my heart they'll never show [Chorus] That day is done, that day is done You know where I've gone I won't be coming back That day is done [Verse 3] Well I recall the time and place When they announced her precious face I thought at once my heart would burst Still, every time is like the first [Verse 4] There was applause when she stepped up I wished that I could interrupt I made no sign, I made no sound I know I must stay underground [Chorus] That day is done, that day is done You know where I've gone I won't be coming back That day is done [Bridge] That's why she walks, or so they say She always knew just what I needed Now if she would just look my way One time before they proceed [Verse 5] She sprinkles flowers in the dirt That's when a thrill becomes a hurt I know I'll never see her face She walks away from my resting place [Chorus] That day is done, that day is done You know where I've gone I won't be coming back That day is done [Outro] Well you know where I've gone I won't be coming back That day is done
