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
